Job Description & How to Apply Below
Position: Research Assistant/ Associate in RF Sensors & Circuits

Job Purpose

You will join a 5-year, flagship EPSRC Programme Grant, SUSTAIN (sustain-pg.org), developing next-generation sustainable heterogenous E-Textiles as Imperceptible Human Interfaces. Our highly ambitious an inter-disciplinary programme has the potential to transform wearable and user-centric electronics, with extensive support and potential for producing top-quality publications and to progress wireless wearables research demonstrators into products and spinouts.

The goal of this role is to develop novel RF and microwave sensors and/or interface circuits for non-invasive sensing.

In your role, you will develop large-area demonstrators of high-performance flexible and printed circuits, fabricated using novel in-house instruments. Your circuits will be incorporated in sensing and wireless applications, and have the potential for large-scale deployment and commercial exploitation. As part of a Programme Grant, there will be further opportunities for career development, mentoring, and having a higher level of independence where appropriate.

You should have experience in any of the following technical areas, with a track record of producing high-quality publications:

  • Microwave sensing using resonators, capacitors, or antennas.
  • Software defined radio (SDR)-based RF sensing.
  • Transceiver design and implementation.
  • PCB and active wireless system design, or MMIC/RFIC design experience

While not required, skills in antennas and electromagnetics are a plus. Experience with flexible or large-area electronics is also desirable.

You will be part of the dynamic Green RF-Enabled Electronics Lab (greelectronicslab.org), an award-winning and expanding research group with expertise from material science to software. You will use our internationally-leading facilities for RF/mmWave characterisation and printed electronics fabrication.

You will help manage and direct this major programme, engage our industrial partners, collaborate with a large inter-disciplinary team, and disseminate your findings through world-leading publications.

For informal discussions about the role, please contact Dr Mahmoud Wagih ()
