Summary
Grade UE07: £40,247 to £47,874 per annum, pro rata if part time
Institute for Regeneration and Repair / CMVM
Full time: 35 hours per week
Fixed term: for 24 months
The Opportunity:
Seeking a postdoctoral researcher to develop robotic systems for autonomous medical interventions at the Baillie Gifford Pandemic Science Hub. The role involves designing, prototyping, and integrating sensing and control for lung intervention robotics, with opportunities for research dissemination, mentorship, and professional growth.
This post is full-time (35 hours per week); however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.
The salary for this post is £40,247 to £47,874 per annum.
Your skills and attributes for success:
A PhD (or near completion) in robotics, mechanical engineering, design and manufacturing, or closely related fields.
An excellent track record of publications in top-tier journals (e.g. IEEE Trans. or broad-interest science venues) and/or conferences in robotics (e.g. R:SS, CoRL, ICRA), or allied areas
Hands-on experience of designing and manufacturing robotic systems
Ability to work effectively as part of a team, to meet deadlines, and to report on project progress
