About this position

University of Oxford is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Laboratory-based Sciences at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Department of Engineering Science (Headington), United Kingdom.

The post sits within the EPSRC-funded Beyond Antibiotics research programme and focuses on evaluating the effect of clinically viable physical stimuli, especially biomedical ultrasound with/without ultrasound-responsive agents, on antimicrobial and antibiofilm efficacy and on host tissue physiology.

The successful candidate will work with complex in-vitro biological models and perform bio-analytical assays, with a specific emphasis on human-relevant models of urinary tract and wound-associated infections. The role involves integrating physical instrumentation such as ultrasound probes with biological systems and analysing the resulting data.

This is a full-time, fixed-term postdoctoral position funded by a UKRI-EPSRC Programme Grant until 30 September 2027. Salary is Grade 7: £39,424 - £47,779 per annum including Oxford University Weighting.

Applicants should hold a PhD/DPhil in bioengineering, biochemistry, biophysics, biotechnology, or a related discipline. Experience with biological models for therapy evaluation, ultrasound generation/detection probes, electronic instrumentation, and signal/data analysis is required.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr Dario Carugo at [email protected]. Apply online before 02 November 2026, 12:00, and upload a covering letter/supporting statement, a brief statement of research interests, a CV, and details of three referees.
