Role Description

We welcome applications from a Research Fellow with a strong passion for, and experience in, biosensing, microfluidics and microbiology. The successful candidate will join our Advanced Sensors team and contribute to the 5-year Leverhulme Research Leadership Award project, Sensing Wastewater for Real-Time Public Health.

About the Role

The postholder’s primary responsibility is to conduct cutting-edge research on a new class of biochemical sensor development for wastewater, especially on the single-cell and single molecule detection, utilising state-of-the-art facilities in the Advanced Sensors Laboratory at Cranfield University.

Cranfield University has a proud reputation for its research on the science, engineering and management of water, and we have been driving innovation for over 40 years. You will contribute to the delivery of Cranfield University’s research portfolio in the Advanced Sensors Laboratory for Water-Environment-Health, led by Professor Zhugen Yang. The group’s pioneering work on wastewater sensing, especially on origami-paper microfluidics sensors, has garnered significant national and international recognition, including features in Science and prominent media outlets, such as BBC. The origami-paper device is currently featured at the London Science Museum. The project also involved partnership from world-leading institutions, such as Harvard University on droplets technology and industrial sectors.

About You

You will hold a doctoral degree (or close to completion) in biosensing, microfluidics, environmental science, microbiology, or a related discipline. You will have demonstrable experience with experimental skillsets, including sensor development, wastewater surveillance, or reverse inference modelling for source tracking. You will bring laboratory expertise in designing experiments, handling advanced instruments, and troubleshooting. Collaboration and mentoring within interdisciplinary teams are also desirable.

About Us

As a specialist postgraduate university, Cranfield’s world-class expertise, large-scale facilities and unrivalled industry partnerships are creating leaders in technology and management globally. Learn more about Cranfield and our unique impact here.

The group has received national and international acclaim, including coverage in Science, BBC News and The Washington Post for its research on wastewater monitoring and origami-based paper sensors.
