Postdoctoral Researchers in Electrochemistry focused on Sensing Devices
The UCAM-SENS unit is searching for Postdoctoral Researchers with proven expertise in Electrochemistry focused on Sensing Devices.
UCAM-SENS, the Unit of Chemical Sensing at the UCAM, is seeking to incorporate excellent postdoctoral researchers with a strong background in the development of electrochemical sensing devices.
The Unit
The UCAM-SENS is a scientific unit that strives for the true digital transformation of key domains such as Health, Sport, Food, and the Environment by using advanced (bio)chemical sensing based on electrochemistry and imaging principles. The UCAM-SENS is led by Prof. Maria Cuartero and Prof. Gaston Crespo, who after an extensive academic career in Switzerland and Sweden of ten years, set this unique research and educational environment at the UCAM.
The mission of UCAM-SENS is established on four pillars: (i) RESEARCH, synergy of fundamental and applied investigations with remarkable significance, quality and high impact, resulting in tangible outcomes that solve current and future societal challenges;
(ii) EDUCATION, personalized education at master and PhD levels in chemical digitalization with sub-branches such as bioelectrochemistry, analytical methods, nano-chemistry, imaging, micro-fluidics, etc.;
(iii) INNOVATION,materialize research ideas into concrete business cases, advance the technological readiness accompanied with alternatives to reach end-users aiming at improving citizens' life, our environment, and surrounding;
(iv) INDUSTRIAL PARTNERSHIP, the UCAM-SENS has the required scientific knowledge to develop sustainable research, development, and innovation projects (R+D+I) in cooperation with the industrial sector toward mutual benefit.
The UCAM-SENS unit is located at the HiTech research building (research incubator and accelerator), which is a multicultural and multidisciplinary environment where people, ideas, knowledge, and necessities meet together to pose and address new challenges.
