Job description
Salary:£32,080 to £40,497 per annum (minimum £35,608 with relevant PhD). Area: Engineering Location: University Park Closing Date: Wednesday 05 August 2026 Reference: ENG001326 Postdoctoral Research Associate / Fellow in Neuronal Impedance Microscopy Join Abayzeed’s lab as a Postdoctoral Research Associate/Fellow in Neuronal Impedance Microscopy in the Optics and Photonics Research Group, Faculty of Engineering, to work on the Wellcome Trust‑funded project, NeurOhmics. The role centres on developing an innovative optical microscopy technique that measures microscopic electrical impedance, enabling the mapping of the electrical properties of living cells at sub‑micrometre resolution, with a particular emphasis on neurons. The project aims to address a vital knowledge gap concerning cellular electrical heterogeneity, as current methods cannot yet reveal how passive electrical properties vary within a single cell. You will conduct impedance imaging experiments on neurons using our in‑house impedance microscopy setup, validate results with electrophysiological recordings, apply deep‑learning approaches to analyse noisy data, and disseminate findings through publications. Team You will work with the Principal Investigator and a cell‑culture specialist in a friendly, multidisciplinary group spanning optics, electrophysiology, microfabrication and machine learning, collaborating with partners at Nottingham’s Schools of Medicine and Life Sciences. We are committed to an inclusive, supportive environment where people from all backgrounds can thrive. Key Qualifications * A PhD (awarded or near completion) in bioengineering, biomedical/electrical engineering, physics, biophysics or a related discipline. * Hands‑on experience of optical microscopy or advanced optical imaging, with desirable skills including building or aligning bespoke systems. * Strong programming and data‑analysis skills (e.g. Python and/or MATLAB) for processing signals and imaging data. * The ability to design, run and troubleshoot experiments independently and analyse data accurately. * Excellent communication skills and the ability to work within a collaborative, multidisciplinary team. Benefits and Working Conditions * A friendly, diverse, and supportive working environment. * A hybrid working arrangement, with a blended approach of home and office working each week. * Generous holiday entitlement: 27 days (or 30 pro‑rata) plus standard bank holidays and five university closure days. * A reward scheme that offers bonuses for excellent work. * Support for staff development through training and career progression opportunities. * Access to fitness and health facilities, staff discounts, travel schemes and more. Employment Details The position is fixed‑term, available until 31 03 2028. Working hours are 36.25 hours per week (full‑time). Contact Please contact Dr Sidahmed Abayzeed (sidahmed.abayzeed2@nottingham.ac.uk) with any questions. Applications sent directly to this email address will not be accepted. Equal Opportunity We are an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are Disability Confident (Level 2). Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is fundamental to our values. J-18808-Ljbffr
