This is an opportunity to join a collaboration between Warwick and WeCare4Air in developing the next generation of AI embedded reference analysers. The Associate will form part of WeCare4Air’s engineering/R&D team and will be primarily based at the company, working closely with the industrial supervisor with frequent day-to-day interaction to ensure delivery, progress and effective knowledge transfer. The project will require the Associate to work across laboratory development and real-world deployment contexts; therefore, independent travel will be expected between WeCare4Air, the University of Warwick, and pilot/customer or monitoring sites as required for testing and validation.
Hybrid working may be possible at times if approved by the supervisors. However, the work will mainly be carried out on-site due to the hands-on nature of instrumentation development, integration and field validation, with the Associate expected to be office/lab based for the majority of the working week (depending on project phase and deployment needs).
We Care 4 Air are committed to delivering high-quality solutions with a focus on data capture and customer satisfaction. The company provides global technical support, ensuring reliable data capture and exceptional service. Their customers include Environment Agencies, Local Authorities, Universities, and commercial organizations worldwide. Driven by a mission to enhance air quality, WeCare4Air consistently goes above and beyond to meet customer needs.
The Associate will become a member of the School of Engineering, at the University of Warwick. The School of Engineering is a broad department teaching all forms of Engineering. The position will be with the BioSensors Group in Engineering (http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/bsl), which is internationally recognised for its work in gas sensors and olfaction, as well as developing instrumentation and units designed for monitoring air quality in consumer and industrial settings. The Associate will also receive academic supervision from the BioSensors Lab within the School of Engineering at the University of Warwick, with access to specialist expertise and facilities supporting rigorous evaluation and translation of research into a deployable solution.
The School of Engineering is committed to the principles of the Athena SWAN Charter, which recognises work undertaken to address gender equality, representation and progression for all staff working in an academic environment. The School currently holds the Athena SWAN Gold award, and the University holds an Institutional Silver award.
