AOR-30 – Postdoctoral Researcher On-chip Immunoassay Development
Contract: Full Time/Fixed Term
Tyndall is leading the Smart Sensor Systems hardware development. As one of Europe's leading ICT institutes, with over 600 people and a capital infrastructure in excess of €250m, Tyndall is now focusing its research in microelectronics and front-end sensor development into "making smart things for the Internet of Farm".
Applications are invited for a Post-Doctoral research position within the Nanotechnology Group at the Tyndall National Institute – University College Cork. The position is initially for two years with potential for extension pending further funding. We have recently developed new integrated electrochemical nanosensors employing nanowires as sensing elements on-chip and have demonstrated significantly enhanced sensitivity, when compared to the state of the art, for a range of important molecules including: chemical analytes (e.g., pesticides) and biochemical analytes (e.g., glucose, dopamine). These new sensors have been sufficiently developed to allow electrochemical-based label-free detection of binding events including antibody-antigen. Recently we have shown label-free immunoassays at single nanobands and demonstrated real-time detection (time to detection: 15 minutes) of viruses and antibodies in serum.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop new approaches for bio-chemical modification of sensors, based on organic/inorganic materials, to detect biomarkers in environmental samples.
- Chemically modify, characterise, and optimise nanoelectrodes for multiplexed detection of target species.
- Develop research methods involving nanosensor development and fabrication, bio-chemical modification of nanoelectrodes, and integration with electronic circuitry.
- Manage research projects, collaborate with industry partners, and oversee laboratory activities.
- Engage in research activities, outreach, and supervise postgraduate students.
- Adhere to health and safety policies and perform administrative duties as required.
Minimum Qualifications and Experience
- PhD in Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Typically 2 years of postdoctoral research experience in immunoassay development on electrochemical sensors.
- Proven track record of publications and achievements in sensor modification and bio-assay development.
- Knowledge of field deployment, validation techniques, and experience working in research teams.
- Excellent communication skills.
- Experience with SPR techniques and grant writing.
- Collaborative experience with industry and a background in the agricultural sector is desirable.
The initial appointment is for 24 months, with potential extension based on funding. Salary ranges from €41,207 to €47,477 per annum, in accordance with public sector pay policy.
