Job details
Full job description
We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join our research team in the School of Engineering at Lancaster University on an exciting project to develop a point-of-care biosensor for C-peptide assessment.
The project is funded by Breakthrough T1D (USA) via a Strategic Research Agreement grant, awarded to Dr Samet Şahin in the School of Engineering at Lancaster University. This is a full-time post commencing as soon as possible and is funded until the 1st of December 2027. The interviews for this post will be held online.
The project aims to develop a blood test for C-peptide that can be performed at the time and place of patient care for the assessment of the pre-symptomatic period of type 1 diabetes. This will provide an easy and reliable C-peptide assessment with a significant reduction in time compared to conventional standards in clinical practice.
Role responsibilities:
As part of a friendly research team in Şahin Research Group (www.sametsahin.me), you will be responsible for:
- Design and synthesis of redox nanocomposite materials and characterisation
- Antibody immobilisation and characterisation
- Electrochemical testing and immunosensor characterisation
Candidate requirements:
- A degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Chemistry, Biology or a related discipline.
- A PhD (or near completion) in electroactive materials, nanomaterials, electrochemical sensor technologies or a similar area.
- A publication record of research in a relevant area and the ability to collect, analyse and interpret experimental data, especially material synthesis and characterisation.
- Great problem-solving and organisational skills
- Good verbal communication and interpersonal skills.
Experience in dealing with carbon-based nanomaterials and redox nanocomposites, protein immobilisation and electrode modifications for electrochemical sensing is also desirable.
Prospective candidates are encouraged to contact the project PI, Dr Samet Şahin (s.sahin@lancaster.ac.uk ) for further information about the position.
