Research Fellow (Postdoctoral Researcher) - development of wearable sensor solution to monitor patients undergoing treatment for cancer
University Vacancies Ireland
Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
Temporary
Reference: 535178555
Post Status: Full-time Specific Purpose
Research Group / Department / School: Medical Circuits and Systems Laboratory & Wireless Engineering and Complexity Science Laboratory, School of Engineering, Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin
Location: Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Aras An Phiarsaigh, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland
Reports to: Professor Friedrich Wetterling
Terms & Conditions: The appointment will be on a temporary basis for a maximum period of 36 months (Postdoctoral Researcher, regular full-time employment contract), namely Annual Living Allowance: €46,411; subject to taxes and social charges.
Hours of Work: Full time ~ 38 hours/week
Closing Date: 12 noon on 6th July 2026
Post Summary
The Medical Circuits and Systems Laboratory (MediCAS-Lab) at Trinity College Dublin are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to explore and develop a wearable solution to monitor patients receiving treatment in a controlled environment.
This position is part of the LOTUS Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund (DTIF) lead by Luminate Medical Ltd. And the position will at Trinity College Dublin is dedicated to developing data capturing solutions for wearable sensors that facilitate treatment of patients in a controlled clinical environment. The project will achieve this through exploring supporting the data management plan (WP1), and design iteration of the firmware to capture the data towards verification and design freeze (WP3) as well as supporting the final units for the clinical trial (WP5).
The specific objectives are:
(a) Support the development of a wearable unit and its data streaming abilities to capture vital signs during observational studies pre-clinically.
(b) Support the Data Management Plan and Risk Assessment of the developed solution.
(c) Support verification and design freeze as the solution matures.
(d) Support the final product roll-out and use as the product is deployed in a controlled clinical trial.
This project is supported by the DTIF Lotus project led by Luminate Medical Ltd. and managed by Enterprise Ireland.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate should hold an honours undergraduate degree and a post-graduate degree (ideally a PhD, but at least a M.Sc.) in a relevant discipline (e.g. electronics or mechanical engineering, or biomedical engineering). There is no one 'specific' discipline that fits this project. Ideally an engineer or physicist. We are looking for someone that is motivated, intrigued by scientific discovery, diligent and pays attention - taking pride in their work; and overall a good team player. This is the primary criteria.
