• Occasionally contribute to teaching in relation to their research project(s).
• Provide advice within the field of the staff member's research to postgraduate students.

The ideal candidate will have a doctoral qualification in chemistry, materials science, bioengineering (or near completion), with a research background in cell/tissue engineering and its interface with bioelectronic sensors. Research experience in flexible bioelectronic devices is highly preferred. A strong background in the highly interdisciplinary field of biosensors and bioelectronics is essential. A strong knowledge of wearable medical devices, biosensors, and mobile-health systems is also required. Demonstrated analytical and manuscript preparation skills, including a track record of refereed research publications and patents, are necessary. Ability to solve complex problems by using discretion, innovation, and the exercise of diagnostic skills and/or expertise is also required. Well-developed planning and organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise multiple tasks and set and meet deadlines, are essential.

The University values courage and creativity; openness and engagement; inclusion and diversity; and respect and integrity. As such, we see the importance of recruiting talent aligned to these values and are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate who has:

• A strong passion for research and innovation in the field of flexible biosensors and bioelectronics.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with colleagues and stakeholders.
• A high level of autonomy and self-motivation, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• A strong commitment to delivering high-quality research and outcomes.

The successful candidate will be offered a competitive salary and benefits package, including a base salary and superannuation. The position is a fixed-term appointment, with the possibility of extension. The successful candidate will be required to work on the Darlington Campus at the School of Biomedical Engineering.
