Join AnFiTest
At AnFiTest, we are developing enzyme-based electrochemical sensors for veterinary applications. We are looking for a chemist with strong electrochemistry expertise to help us transform our proof-of-concept work into robust, market-ready products.
This role could suit either:
* A PhD chemist with electrochemistry expertise ready to lead assay development,
* A graduate/MSc chemist with a strong foundation who is eager to grow into the role.
You'll be doing:
* Developing and optimising electrochemical protocols on benchtop and portable potentiostats (e.g. PalmSens EmStat4).
* Working with screen-printed electrodes and conventional cells.
* Selecting materials, surface treatments, mediators, and films.
* Producing rigorous, reproducible data and documenting methods clearly.
* Design and run controlled experiments to assess enzyme based reactions.
* Contribute to technical reports, IP filings and funding proposals.
We're looking for:
* Solid electrochemistry skills (essential).
* Good wet-lab skills, curiosity, and initiative.
* Good attention to detail and data handling
* Biochemistry knowledge is a plus, but not essential.
* Understanding of the agricultural or equine industry is desirable but not essential
