About this position
Tyndall National Institute at University College Cork is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher to work on the development of electrochemical wearable sensors for health monitoring. The project focuses on sensor technologies for monitoring biochemical markers related to animal health and welfare, with a strong application in agritech and aquaculture.
The role sits within Tyndall’s Life Science Interface (LSI) Group, a multidisciplinary team working at the intersection of semiconductor-enabled technologies and the life sciences. The group develops diagnostics and therapeutics tools for medicine, biotechnology, and environmental applications, supported by specialist labs for device design, fabrication, testing, biofluids, instrument development, and cell culture.
The successful candidate will lead sensor development, project management, collaboration with researchers and principal investigators, publication and dissemination activities, and support education and public engagement. The post is a full-time fixed-term contract for 5 months, with the possibility of extension depending on performance and funding availability.
Eligibility highlights: a PhD in engineering science, chemistry, biochemistry, or a related discipline; proven experience in electrochemical sensor development in complex media; a strong publication record; and experience in fabrication, biofunctionalization, and validation of electrochemical sensors. Desirable experience includes electrochemistry, nanomaterial fabrication, biomedical engineering, advanced characterization, microsystem technology, and medical device design.
Funding and salary: salary is listed at €46,805–€53,391 per annum on the Post Doctorate Researcher Scale 1 (new entrants), with additional benefits such as UCC pension, long-term illness benefit, life assurance, and competitive leave.
Application deadline: 26 June 2026 at 1pm. Applicants should submit an up-to-date CV/resume and a brief motivation letter outlining how they meet the essential criteria. Informal enquiries may be directed to Dr Luiza Wasiewska.
