Project Leader/Domain Lead Expert in Innovative AgriFood and Health Solutions

Your goal will be to investigate technologies that can be used for creating innovative agrifood and health solutions, including new biosensors for end-users in healthcare (patients and health professionals) and agribusiness. Next to being a co-worker in our OnePlanet research team, you will be the expert lead to link Radboud University, in particular researchers from the Faculty of Science, to the OnePlanet team and vice versa. You are keen to spot new possibilities for co-development within the chosen roadmaps. Part of your time you will be involved in research on performing experimental trials with partners to investigate new compounds or analytics for sensing technologies in different projects. You will work in multidisciplinary teams of organic chemists, physical and analytical scientists, biochemical scientists and engineers, electronic engineers, and data scientists.

Your responsibilities may include (I) collaborating with internal and external stakeholders such as biophysical, medical and analytical industrial partners, (II) identifying the state of the art, gaps and possible solutions to develop new technologies and IP for OnePlanet in collaboration with interdisciplinary teams, (III) providing expertise support and playing a strategic role in initiating new research topics and opportunities for the OnePlanet roadmap, (IV) initiating use cases for funded project proposals (which will be followed up by 'funded business developers' within the OnePlanet team and Radboud University), (V) supervising experiments on new sensing applications to discover which technologies can be applied and verifying if the chosen concept works, (VI) contributing to testing methods, evaluation and analytics on the performance of sensors and algorithms, (VII) planning and dividing activities and adjusting them according to progress and priorities together with the project teams, and (VIII) communicating your work, both achievements and challenges to the team on a regular basis, taking on broad feedback and providing feedback to others, and providing input for system improvements and the processes employed.

If possible, you will publish selected OnePlanet research in scientific articles and conferences.
