PhD Opportunity in Nanoscale Electrochemical Sensors at the University of Melbourne
PhD opportunity in
nanoscale electrochemical sensors
at the
University of Melbourne
, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
This interdisciplinary project focuses on the design, fabrication, and characterisation of advanced nanosensors with applications in
biomedical engineering
,
agriculture and food systems
,
defence and security technologies
, and
environmental monitoring
. The work is aimed at real-world translation and industry impact, with opportunities to contribute to high-quality publications, patents, and impactful technologies.
Relevant research interests and skills include
micro/nanofabrication
, photolithography, thin-film deposition (PVD, CVD, hydrothermal), electrochemical sensing, biosensors, cleanroom fabrication, nanomaterials, surface functionalisation, and device/material characterisation using SEM, TEM, AFM, XRD, XPS, Raman, FTIR, and related tools. Additional desirable experience includes COMSOL Multiphysics, TCAD simulations, PCB design, MEMS, AI/ML for sensor data analysis, Python or MATLAB, and wearable/flexible electronics.
Applicants from Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Materials Engineering, Nanotechnology, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or related disciplines are encouraged to apply. The post states that
PhD scholarship support can be arranged for suitable candidates
, but no fixed funding package or deadline is provided.
To apply, send a CV, academic transcript, and a brief statement of research interests via direct message or email to
