The School of Physics, Engineering and Technology brings physicists and engineers together to push the frontiers of knowledge, foster innovation and meet the grand challenges facing society. Our aim is to deliver world-leading research in both fundamental and applied areas whilst developing new technologies that work for the public good, in an environment where everyone can thrive.
As a School, equality, diversity, and inclusion are central to our culture and we strive to provide a working environment which allows all staff and students to contribute fully, to flourish, and to excel. We aim to ensure that there is a supportive and egalitarian culture at all levels and across all staff groups and offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, staff engagement forums, campus facilities and services to support staff from different backgrounds. We are proud to hold Juno Champion and Athena Swan bronze awards, which recognise our commitment to creating an equitable and fully inclusive environment in which staff and students can thrive. We aim to inspire young people to engage with science and engineering through our outreach work.
RoleResearchers from the University of York, UK and Tohoku University, Japan are working together on an exciting project funded by the Royal Society International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF), to develop novel high- resolution MEMS magnetometers for non-invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCI). To achieve this ambitious target, we will investigate novel methodologies to enhance sensor sensitivity and resolution, in combination with optimised magnetometer and low-noise circuitry designs.
We are recruiting a post-doctoral research associate (PDRA), who will conduct cutting-edge research to achieve our ambitious target. More specifically, the PDRA will:
