Research Associate in Cancer Detection Technology
The role
This Cancer Research UK (CRUK)-funded project is at the forefront of revolutionizing cancer detection, aiming to enable the identification of cancerous tumours at the earliest possible stage, ensuring timely intervention. By focusing on the design and development of cutting-edge wearable sensors and advanced data acquisition systems, this project seeks to detect lumps beneath the skin with unprecedented accuracy. This is a unique opportunity to collaborate closely with leading academics and clinicians, including Bristol Medical School, Somerset, Wiltshire, Avon & Gloucestershire (SWAG) Cancer Alliance, and North Bristol NHS Trust, to create life-saving technology that could transform cancer detection and significantly improve patient outcomes. As a successful candidate, you will play a pivotal role in this ground-breaking research, engaging in hands-on experimental work, from designing and prototyping to iterative testing of wearable devices. Utilizing the state-of-the-art facilities at the University of Bristol, you will be at the heart of pioneering efforts that blend innovation with impact. Please note that, due to operational requirements, we would like the successful applicant to start in post as soon as possible.
Shortlisting will take place on the 17th/18th of September with a provisional interview date on the 23rd/24th/25th of September.
What will you be doing?
You will be responsible for developing an innovative wearable device, and data collection and analysis to identify early tumours indicative of cancer. You will collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and healthcare professionals to refine the device's accuracy, usability, and efficacy. The project outcomes are expected to be published in the field’s top journals.
You should apply if
Due to operational requirements, we are ideally seeking a candidate that is able to start soon.
