We are looking for highly motivated Research Associate / Fellow to contribute to the Horizon Europe SusFe project on electrochemical sensing. Candidates must have (or almost completed) a PhD with a significant element of electrochemical sensing and ideally for clinical applications. The candidate will work in the Healthcare Innovation Centre in the School of Health & Life Sciences at the University of Teesside, reporting to Prof. Zulfiqur Ali.
The Horizon Europe SusFE (https://susfeproject.eu/) is an exciting project that aims to develop a sustainable design and production platform for the next generation of wearable and diagnostic devices. It will combine novel flexible integrated circuit (FlexIC), printed sensors, compostable paper-based power source with a roll-to-roll manufacturing platform. SusFE uses a combination of sustainable materials and processes to create eco-friendly solutions for wound healing monitoring, self-blood sampling and point-of-care devices.
The SusFE consortium brings together a global leader for medical devices, businesses with world leading expertise in roll-to-roll processing as well as instrumentation and diagnostic, along with SMEs with expertise in flexible integrated circuits, biofuel cells, atmospheric plasma and blood self-sampling. Alongside Teesside University, the project partners include Medtronic Iberica, Spain; Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Germany; VTT Technical Research Centre, Finland, Sofradim Production, France; Capitainer, Sweden; BeFC, France; Molecular Plasma Group, Luxembourg; and Pragmatic Semiconductor Limited, Sedgefield.
