The Faculty of Engineering is looking to recruit a skilled and motivated Research Associate or Senior Research Associate role to join the pro² network+ team.
You will bring skills and expertise in digital device production, from a range of possible backgrounds that could include human-computer interaction, IoT or embedded device design, electronic engineering or digital manufacturing.
The pro² network+ is an EPSRC-funded network that aims to improve the transition process from prototype to product for digital devices. We are helping to form and inform a community of people who share the common goal of accelerating the production of digital devices that can improve our everyday lives.
This is a 18-month position with the possibility of extension based on funding availability and performance.
This role will work with the pro² network+, a leading team of experts across UK Universities, to collect, synthesise and publish research on the current landscape of approaches to device-building, and future opportunities for new approaches.
The post holder will comprehensively map existing device-building tools and techniques with particular attention to the challenges of low-volume manufacturing which are a key focus area for the pro² network+. A second key deliverable for this position is to identify new standards that could be used to ensure compatibility and interoperability across a range of low volume components and manufacturing infrastructure.
There will also be opportunities to identify and explore new tools and techniques for device prototyping and production, especially with regard to low-volume production.
In addition to the above key duties, you will also be expected to publish research findings in high-impact conferences and journals, present results at seminars, and contribute to the preparation of grant proposals to secure additional research funding.
Candidates should have the following qualifications and experience:
- A PhD or working towards a PhD in a relevant discipline including computer science, software engineering, electronic engineering, embedded systems or manufacturing.
- Knowledge around the challenges of fabricating digital devices.
- Well-developed analytical skills including the ability to find, interpret, and summarise qualitative and quantitative data.
- Ability to communicate complex information clearly, both orally and through the written word.
Additionally candidates for a grade J position would be expected to have:
- Specialist knowledge in digital device prototyping, production and fabrication.
- Knowledge around the challenges of producing digital devices at low volumes.
- Experience of drafting policy briefs or reports for multiple stakeholders.
For informal queries please contact Mike Fraser, [email protected]

Interviews are anticipated to take place on 17 May 2024.
We recently launched our strategy to 2030 tying together our mission, vision and values.
The University of Bristol aims to be a place where everyone feels able to be themselves and do their best in an inclusive working environment where all colleagues can thrive and reach their full potential. We want to attract, develop, and retain individuals with different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives – particularly people of colour, LGBT+ and disabled people - because diversity of people and ideas remains integral to our excellence as a global civic institution.
