Role
We are seeking one Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) for the development of next generation micro-scale sensor technologies for measuring natural cues on seabirds. The successful candidate will join a highly collaborative team spanning electronics, computer science, sensor engineering, and animal behavioural ecology. The successful candidate will conduct R&D activities at the University of York, UK, and will work collaboratively with animal behavioural scientists at the University of Liverpool. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of next-generation high-performance MEMS sensors (e.g. pressure, magnetic field), working closely with collaborators designing reservoir computing architectures for embedded and in-sensor processing.
Skills, Experience & Qualification needed
1. A strong track record of research and development in MEMS sensor technologies, including one or more of the following: MEMS sensor design; MEMS magnetometer design; MEMS pressure sensor design; nonlinear dynamics of MEMS devices; low-noise interface electronic design; and MEMS device characterisation.
2. The candidate should also have strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
3. We are especially keen to appoint candidates who can work across disciplines and are keen to develop their interdisciplinary research skills during the project duration.
