Senior Research Scientist – Sensors

Who they are

Verso Biosense are developing implantable sensing platforms designed to generate continuous biological insight in an area of medicine that remains poorly understood. Their work combines electrochemical sensing technologies, advanced engineering, materials science, embedded systems, and physiology within a highly collaborative R&D environment.

They are seeking a Senior Research Scientist with a background in electrochemical biosensors and/or electrochemistry to join our R&D team developing next-generation implantable biosensing technology.

This is an opportunity to play a key role in the evaluation and integration of electrochemical sensing technologies within an innovative deep-tech healthcare company. Working across electrochemistry, sensor systems, electronics, and biological environments, you will lead investigations into sensor performance, modelling, and experimental characterisation for implantable monitoring applications.

Job Description

You will lead investigations into electrochemical sensing technologies for implantable systems, supporting activities including:
• Experimental characterisation and evaluation of electrochemical sensing technologies
• Investigation and modelling of transducers, reference electrodes, and measurement circuitry
• Design and development of experimental test rigs and laboratory set-ups
• Experimental design, verification testing, and performance characterisation
• Scientific programming and data analysis using Matlab and Python
• Technical reporting, invention disclosures, and IP generation
• Supporting and mentoring junior researchers

The ideal candidate

You will likely have:
• A PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a related discipline
• At least 5 years’ experience within practical research or advanced R&D environments
• A strong track record of scientific contribution through publications, patents, or technology development
• Strong theoretical and practical understanding of electrochemical biosensors and electrochemistry
• Experience with experimental electrochemistry and sensor characterisation
• Experience with modelling and simulation tools such as SPICE, Altium, or Verilog-A
• Strong analytical and experimental problem-solving capability

Experience in implantable devices, biocompatible materials, electronics miniaturisation, physiology, wireless systems, or related technologies would be advantageous.
