Research Scientist – Implantable Biosensing Systems

We are seeking a Research Scientist with a strong background in the R&D of biosensing, implantable or in-vivo medical device technologies to contribute to the development of a next-generation, fully implantable technology platform for continuous biomarker monitoring within the uterus.

The technology is being developed to provide new insights into uterine health through continuous biomarker monitoring, enabling the investigation of patterns and changes within the uterine environment that have historically been difficult to study. Beyond its initial sensing capabilities, the platform has the potential to incorporate additional sensing technologies and, in the longer term, therapeutic delivery systems, opening up new possibilities for the investigation and management of uterine health conditions.

Working across the complete device system, you will investigate, model and prototype new technologies spanning mechanical systems, materials, electronics, energy and communications, solving complex multidisciplinary challenges that will shape future generations of the platform.

This opportunity would suit a scientifically rigorous and practically minded researcher who enjoys solving complex problems from first principles. Combining theoretical modelling and simulation with hands‑on experimentation and characterisation, you will develop proof‑of‑concept technologies, investigate their performance within challenging biological environments and contribute to the development of new intellectual property.

We are an innovative healthcare technology company developing a novel implantable biosensing platform for the study and monitoring of uterine health.

Our technology brings together advanced biosensing, materials science, mechanical engineering, electronics and human physiology to enable continuous monitoring of biomarkers within the uterine environment. By generating longitudinal biological data, the technology has the potential to reveal patterns and relationships that cannot be identified through conventional single-point measurements, advancing our understanding of uterine health and associated medical conditions.

The platform has been designed with adaptability in mind, offering the potential to integrate new sensing capabilities and explore future therapeutic applications, including targeted drug delivery.

We operate within a highly collaborative R&D environment where scientists and engineers work across traditional discipline boundaries to solve complex system‑level challenges. Research activities range from fundamental scientific investigation and theoretical modelling through to experimental validation, prototype development and technology evaluation.

As Research Scientist, you will contribute to the investigation and development of novel device and system technologies for implantable biosensing applications.

Working across multiple technical disciplines, you will combine analytical modelling, simulation, experimental research and hands‑on laboratory development to investigate new concepts, understand system behaviour and evaluate the feasibility and performance of emerging technologies.
