Biosensors Research Intern - Electrochemistry

Some examples of what you might do:

• Support the design and execution of electrochemical experiments (e.g., voltammetry, impedimetry, chronoamperometry) under guidance
• Prepare buffers/solutions, handle samples (including biofluids where appropriate), and maintain good lab practice
• Assist with electrode cleaning and basic surface functionalisation steps following established protocols
• Run assay optimisation experiments (e.g., concentration ranges, incubation times, blocking conditions) and record results rigorously
• Carry out routine characterisation and quality checks on sensors and reagents, flagging anomalies early
• Contribute to Python-based data analysis and plotting (training provided as needed) and help maintain tidy datasets
• Help draft and update Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), experiment templates, and lab documentation
• Present progress in short weekly updates and collaborate closely with chemists, biologists, engineers, and data scientists

Essential

• Currently pursuing (or recently completed) a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrochemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemical/Materials Engineering, or a related discipline
• Comfortable in a wet lab environment with strong attention to detail, safety, and reproducibility
• Foundational understanding of electrochemistry and enthusiasm to learn biosensing applications
• Some hands-on experience with at least one of: electrochemical measurements, surface chemistry, assay development, or analytical methods
• Strong organisation and note-taking skills (you keep experiments traceable and data interpretable)
• A proactive, creative, problem-solving mindset and willingness to ask good questions

Nice to have:

• Prior exposure to aptamers or other biorecognition elements (even through coursework or a thesis project)
• Familiarity with the microfabrication techniques and microfluidic wearable platforms, including CAD modelling, lithography, and experimental setup
• Familiarity with Design of Experiments (DoE), basic statistics, or Python scripting for data analysis
• Experience working with complex matrices (e.g., serum, saliva, urine) or sample preparation
• Experience with SPR, molecular docking, or structural modelling
• Experience with Python, R, or MATLAB

• We value culture as much as we value technical expertise, creating an environment that’s equal parts collaboration, curiosity, and fun
