We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position in our Sensor and Biosensor Research Group, focusing on the development and application of sensors for monitoring contaminants in surface water. This role is part of a multidisciplinary initiative aimed at advancing real-time, high-sensitivity environmental monitoring technologies to detect pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and organic contaminants.

We are looking for researchers to develop sensors based on electrochemical station, Palmsence 4 etc. The candidate should have at least one year experience of work and related research papers. We offer not only routine work but also to proceed cutting-edge research projects with collaborators from University of Arizona USA. Promotion to lecturer #KozybayevUniversity or prolongation of the research as a co-PI or PI of own research project

🔬 Key Responsibilities:

• Design, fabricate, and validate electrochemical or optical sensors/biosensors for detecting environmental contaminants.
• Develop analytical methods and sensor interfaces suitable for field deployment in freshwater and wastewater environments.
• Conduct data analysis and interpret sensor response for real-time monitoring.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including chemists, microbiologists, and engineers.
• Prepare research manuscripts and contribute to scientific publications and grant proposals.

🎓 Qualifications:

• PhD in Analytical Chemistry, Environmental Engineering, Materials Science, Biotechnology, or a related field.
• Demonstrated expertise in sensor or biosensor development (e.g., electrochemical, optical, nanomaterial-based).
• Experience with environmental sample analysis and contaminant detection methods is highly desirable.
