Research Associate

This post is full time, and has funding for up to 7 months.

The James Watt School of Engineering is looking for a Research Associate to make a leading contribution to an Impact Acceleration Award working with Professor Alasdair Clark and a US-based device manufacturer on the project, Multiplexed plasmonic metasurface chips for biosensing and biomedical applications. Based on our development of a cross-reactive plasmonic metasurface chip for the chemical profiling of liquid samples, we now seek to explore the use of this technology in biosensing. The project will involve fabricating and (bio)chemically modifying massively-multiplexed optical metasurface chips, integrating these with microfluidic devices, and performing biosensing experiments. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals as well as help manage and direct this complex and challenging project as opportunities allow.
