Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
This project an EPSRC iCASE award between the research groups of Prof Martyn Boutelle, Imperial College London, Dept of Bioengineering and Dr Sarah Goodchild, DSTL Porton Down. The Industrial CASE award provide outstanding students access to training, facilities and expertise not available in an academic setting alone. The project focuses on the problem of detection of low level exposure to specific toxic agents that could affect both civilians and first responder personnel. The project will use a combination of microfluidics technologies, electrochemical sensors, and wireless electronics to develop novel real-time measurement devices. The project will be based in the Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College with regular interaction with DSTL. It will also involve a placement at DSTL to test prototype devices.
A successful candidate should be interested in innovative problem solving in a laboratory environment and working as part of an interdisciplinary research team.
To apply for the position, please send a single PDF document including a one-page cover letter discussing research interest and experiences, a two-page CV, a copy of transcripts, and contact information of two references to Professor Martyn Boutelle.
