Topic: biosensors

OXMAN seeks researchers working across synthetic biology, bioengineering, plant science, materials science and microbiology. Projects may develop biosensors, integrate living components into physical systems, adapt organisms to extreme environments, or devise new fabrication methods. The scientist will lead or collaborate on interdisciplinary projects, communicate results and maintain research documentation. This full-time, on-site role is based in New York City, with a stated annual compensation range of US$121,000–151,000. Instead of a cover letter, applicants must upload a project proposal

Two faculty vacancies advertised together, with tenure-track or tenured appointments expected for the 2027–28 academic year. Develop an independent funded research programme using biochemical, computational and AI approaches to protein, enzyme, metabolic or nucleic-acid engineering. Environmental applications include carbon capture, remediation, biosensors and waste-based biomanufacturing. Responsibilities include teaching, mentoring and service. Full consideration is by 1 November 2026, followed by continued review until filled.

This business-led collaborative research and development competition will fund new engineering-biology products, processes and services and de-risk technologies with strong market potential. Projects may address health, agriculture and food, chemicals and materials, low-carbon fuels, waste and environment, or cross-cutting technology and service development. The central innovation must purposefully engineer biological systems and may involve biosensors, biomanufacturing, synthetic-biology platforms, gene editing, AI or computational biology. Projects must have total eligible costs of £750,000

Melody is recruiting a protein engineer to create biosensors from allosteric switches, signaling motifs, reporter proteins, site-specific chemical modifications, and bioelectronic interfaces. The role spans construct design, wet-lab screening, device integration, experimental or computational protein design, and mentoring within a continuous molecular-monitoring program.

Melody is hiring a bioelectronics engineer to integrate protein biosensors, surface chemistry, hydrogels, membranes, and optical or electrochemical readout hardware into continuous molecular-monitoring technology. The role owns wetware integration strategy, diagnostic experimentation, directed-evolution workflows, materials development, instrumentation, and automation for real-world biosensing and eventual in-vivo studies.
