Research Associate/Fellow in Raman Microscopy
Research Associate/Fellow in Raman Microscopy

We seek to recruit a Research Associate/Fellow to join our team developing a ground-breaking technique based on diffuse Raman spectroscopy for in-vivo measurements deep in tissue, aiming to detect molecular changes caused by foreign body response. Understanding the time-and spatial-dependent molecular processes underpinning foreign body response is important for a broad range of applications, from the development of new drugs to implantable medical devices.
In this project, a recently developed Raman spectrometer (optimised for diffuse and spatially-offset Raman spectroscopy for sub-cutaneous measurements) and computer modelling of light propagation in tissue will be used to monitor the formation of fibrotic tissue in small animal models. This project is based on a long-term research collaboration between the Biophotonics Group (School of Physics and Astronomy), School of Life Sciences and School of Pharmacy, currently funded by the National Centre for Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research. This project is an excellent opportunity for inter-disciplinary training. Funding includes stipend, tuition fees, research consumables and travel to international conferences.
What you should have:
- A PhD or near to completion of a PhD, in Physics, Chemistry or Biomedical Engineering.
- Knowledge of Raman spectroscopy, spatially offset Raman spectroscopy, multivariate statistical analysis of data.
- Excellent written and oral communication skills, and excellent interpersonal skills and ability to build relationships and collaborate with others, both internally and externally.
