Research Associate/Fellow: Clinical Translation of Ultra-thin Imaging Devices for Pancreatic Cancer Detection (FTC)
University of Nottingham
Nottingham, United Kingdom
We have secured funding from the Medical Research Council (MRC) to further develop our existing prototypes toward clinical application and as a result are seeking a highly motivated individual to lead the hardware development of a second-generation clinically translatable prototype of our ultra-thin imaging device. You will lead the technical development through to the first pre-clinical studies on ex vivo human pancreatic tissues, laying essential groundwork for subsequent human clinical trials. You will work as part of an interdisciplinary team involving pancreatic cancer surgeons, pathologists, and engineers. There will be significant potential for further clinical translation and commericalisation activities.
What you should have:
- PhD (or nearing completion) or equivalent industry experience in Electrical/Electronic/Photonic/Optical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline.
- Demonstrated ability to deliver results, evidenced by academic publications or successful commercialisation of technologies/products.
- Proven hands-on experimental skills of developing hardware.
- Practical experience with optical fibres.
- Proficiency in writing instrument control and data analysis software (e.g., C/C++, Python or MATLAB).
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Excellent teamwork skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across disciplines.
