The University is committed to equality of opportunity
A position exists for a Post-Doctoral Research Associate to work on Stretchable Electronics. The
project is funded by EPSRC, and will involve collaboration with the University of Sheffield (Electronics
and Electrical Engineering Department, Prof. Richard Langley). The aim of the project is to develop
novel and reconfigurable electromagnetic components. The project will focus on designing and
fabricating novel antenna structures using metallised elastomers. Manufacturing strategies for
metallised stretchable components will be developed, and antennas and related microwave
components evaluated.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in Engineering, Material Science or Physics with a
substantial experience and interest in device fabrication and cleanroom processing. Experience in
the fabrication of electronic devices at room temperature is highly desirable. A good track record of
publications and a proven ability to work on multidisciplinary projects are highly desirable.
