About the Role
We are seeking a Biosensors Research Intern (Electrochemistry) to support our electrochemical biosensor R&D team, focusing on aptamer-based sensing and small-molecule assay development. This role involves working on well-defined experiments, learning lab workflows and the electrochemistry stack, and contributing data and documentation to advance projects.
Responsibilities
- 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 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.
Requirements
- 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.
- A proactive, creative, problem-solving mindset and willingness to ask good questions.
- Prior exposure to aptamers or other biorecognition elements.
- Familiarity with 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.
