The role – Join Abayzeed’s lab as a Postdoctoral Research Associate/Fellow in Neuronal Impedance Microscopy in the Optics and Photonics Research Group, Faculty of Engineering, to work on the Wellcome Trust-funded project, NeurOhmics. This position centres on developing an innovative optical microscopy technique that measures microscopic electrical impedance, enabling the mapping of the electrical properties of living cells with sub-micrometre resolution, with a particular emphasis on neurons.

The project aims to address a vital knowledge gap concerning cellular electrical heterogeneity, as current methods cannot yet reveal how passive electrical properties vary within a single cell. In this role, you will conduct impedance imaging experiments on neurons using our in-house impedance microscopy setup, validate results using electrophysiological recordings, apply deep-learning approaches to analyse noisy data, and disseminate your findings through publications.

The team – You will work with the Principal Investigator and a cell-culture specialist in a friendly, multidisciplinary group spanning optics, electrophysiology, microfabrication and machine learning, collaborating with partners at Nottingham’s Schools of Medicine and Life Sciences. We are committed to an inclusive, supportive environment where people from all backgrounds can thrive.

About you – (full details are in the role profile):

A PhD (awarded or near completion) in bioengineering, biomedical/electrical engineering, physics, biophysics or a related discipline.
Hands-on experience of optical microscopy or advanced optical imaging, with desirable skills including building or aligning bespoke systems.
Strong programming and data-analysis skills (e.g. Python and/or MATLAB) for processing signals and imaging data.
The ability to design, run and troubleshoot experiments independently and analyse data accurately.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to work within a collaborative, multidisciplinary team.

What we offer

A friendly, diverse, and supportive working environment
A hybrid working arrangement with the blended approach of home and office working each week
Generous holiday entitlement of 27 (30) days (or pro rata) plus standard bank holidays and five university closure days including closure between Christmas and New Year.
Our reward scheme grants bonuses of numerous values for excellent work
We are committed to staff development through the provision of training, continued support, and career progression opportunities
You will have access to a range of benefits and rewards, including fitness and health facilities, staff discounts, travel schemes and many more. To find out more about what we can offer you, follow the link to our benefits website

This is a fixed-term position available until 31/03/2028. Working hours are 36.25 hours per week (full-time).

Please contact Dr Sidahmed Abayzeed ([email protected]) with any questions. Applications sent directly to this email address will not be accepted.
