Opportunities with us

The Centre for Bio-Inspired Technology (CBIT) welcomes highly motivated researchers to join our interdisciplinary research programmes. Our work focuses on bio-inspired sensors and actuators, ultra-low-power circuits and systems, lab-on-chip and point-of-care diagnostics, and implantable and wearable medical technologies, with strong emphasis on clinical translation and real-world impact. We work at the interface of electronics, biomedical engineering, biology, neuroscience, data science and healthcare.

Research staff opportunities (research assistant, research associate, research fellow) are advertised via Imperial’s employment pages. Informal enquiries may be directed to the most relevant academic lead, with a short CV and summary of research interests.

PhD opportunities are available for candidates with excellent engineering or physical sciences backgrounds (typically a 1st-class MEng, or BEng + MSc with distinction). Research themes include ultra-low-power biomedical circuits and systems, wearable and implantable devices, lab-on-chip and point-of-care diagnostics, neurotechnology and bioelectronic medicine, and remote monitoring of human health and wellbeing using radar. Funding routes include UKRI, Centres for Doctoral Training, scholarships and project-specific studentships.
