Research Fellow

Fixed term for 15 months, 37 hours per week

The School of Computing and Engineering is seeking to recruit a Research Fellow in biomedical engineering/telecommunications. The person appointed will have a PhD in biomedical engineering, or condition monitoring/signal processing, or telecommunications and will have postdoctoral experience in the same areas.

Candidates must have a good record of publication in high quality journals in the past 2 to 3 years; IEEE Transactions, or other high-impact journals.

The project will investigate new approaches to the online detection and diagnosis of the health condition of the human breathing system. It will focus on developing novel sensing and analytic approaches so that incipient abnormality in the breathing system can be detected and any further deterioration reliably predicted. Metamaterial-based MEMS devices will be the core technology for developing sensing arrays to sense weak and nonstationary vibro-acoustical signals of human origin through high frequency resonance, pulse modulation, microwave integration effect and so on. The sensing system will be made up of IoT wearable devices, that upload/process the sensed signals in the Cloud using big data technologies with wireless control for efficient and high-performance patient monitoring.

If you are currently registered as a student at the University, please note that you may only apply for part-time jobs of 15 hours or less per week.
