JOB PURPOSE:

The research team have secured funding from Invest Northern Ireland (INI) for the commercial development of a smart wearable device that can monitor the condition of ostomy pouch systems. A 12 month full time position for a researcher with skills in electronic/electrical engineering is available to help pursue the design, development and testing of prototype devices in preparation for its evaluation in patient trials. This is a cross disciplinary project involving collaboration with both clinical and commercial partners and will involve public-patient interactions throughout the design process. While largely based in Belfast, the post may require travel between the Belfast, Coleraine and Derry~Londonderry campuses as well as site visits to the collaborating partners.
