Marie Curie ToK Post Doctoral Position – Electronic platforms
Placement with the Life Sciences Interface (LSI) Team within the Tyndall National Institute, Cork
Duties: Research focusing on the development and application of electronic control platforms for Bio-systems. Development and integration of electronic instrumentation systems, including modelling, circuit design and software creation, for various biochemical and electrochemical sensing systems for environmental, food safety, and clinical diagnostic applications. Recent achievements include the deployment of a portable electro analytical system for trace metal analysis in contaminated soils and development of phase fluorimetric instrumentation for optical oxygen sensing.
Responsibilities: To liaise with ongoing activities and project partners to make technical contributions to ongoing system developments. Also to aid and support related projects within other teams of the Tyndall ‘Life Sciences Interface’ grouping. We expect the candidate to be able to produce presentations and publications based on this work.
Requirements: An ideal candidate will be self motivated and hold a PhD or have equivalent experience in some of the following areas: Platform hardware development such as FPGA or microcontroller based integrated micro fluidic and detector control; sensor instrumentation such as potentiostats for electrochemical sensors and/or floating CE detection system, rapid impedance sensor interrogation. Knowledge of related software coding for microcontroller, MATLAB or Labview would be advantageous
The candidate must be able to persevere when technical difficulties arise and to use a scientific approach to seek and overcome such difficulties. The candidate must be able to give good technical presentations in the course of the work. The candidate must be willing to interact constructively with other team members as part of the Marie Curie Transfer of Knowledge process.
Applications: consist of completed Tyndall application form, a covering letter stating your suitability for and reasons for interest in this position, a full C.V. and list of published works and names and contact details of at least 2 referees (including your PhD and/or postdoc advisors).
The Tyndall national Institute is an equal opportunity organisation and encourages both men and women to apply for the position.
Description of position: Full time for 2 years. As this position is supported by the EU Marie Curie Transfer of Knowledge programme the applicant should not have worked in Ireland for more than 3 months during the last 3 years.

Marie Curie ToK Post Doctoral Position – Optical based Bio-systems
Placement with the Life Sciences Interface (LSI) Team within the Tyndall National Institute, Cork
Duties: Research focusing on the development and application of in house fabricated micro optical components into bio-systems for the detection of biological and chemical substances in the environment, food, or for medical diagnostics. Development and integration of system elements with electronic instrumentation e.g. for miniaturised DNA fluorescence system or autonomous cytometry application.
Responsibilities: To liaise with ongoing activities and project partners to make technical contributions to ongoing system developments. Also to aid and support related projects within other teams of the Tyndall ‘Life Sciences Interface’ grouping. We expect the candidate to be able to produce presentations and publications based on this work.
Requirements: An ideal candidate will be self motivated and hold a PhD or have equivalent experience in micro fabrication and micro optics as part of a micro Total Analytical System (µTAS). Complimentary skills in related instrumentation development with computer interfacing ability e.g. using Labview advantageous. Alternatively a knowledge of optoelectronics with integration of avalanche photodiode (APD’s), LED / laser and filters and instrumentation would be acceptable.
