Senior Researcher / Project Leader – Graphene-Based Electrochemical Biosensors

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Researcher / Project Leader to lead the development of next-generation graphene-based electrochemical and capacitive biosensing devices.

This is a hands-on leadership role for an experienced researcher with strong expertise in nanomaterials, electrochemical sensing, and device fabrication. The selected candidate will supervise research activities while actively contributing to lab-based development, characterization, and process optimization.

The position is ideal for a PhD-level scientist with a strong track record in biosensor development, graphene or rGO materials, translational research, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead the development of graphene and reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based electrochemical sensing platforms.
• Design, fabricate, and optimize flexible and printed electronic biosensing devices.
• Oversee electrode functionalization strategies (e.g., bio-based modification, surface chemistry).
• Perform and supervise electrochemical characterization (EIS, cyclic voltammetry, capacitive sensing).
• Coordinate laboratory workflows from material synthesis to device validation.
• Define and implement quality control protocols to ensure reproducibility and performance standards.
• Contribute to process optimization and scale-up strategies for industrial translation with the Manufacturing Line.
• Supervise junior researchers, MSc/PhD students, and technical staff.
• Support intellectual property generation (patents) and scientific dissemination.
• Collaborate with academic and industrial partners to align R&D with commercialization goals.

What We’re Looking For

• PhD in Applied Physics, Nanotechnology, Materials Science, Chemistry, Bioengineering, or related field.
• Minimum 5+ years of experience in biosensor development and electrochemical sensing platforms.
• Proven experience with graphene and/or reduced graphene oxide materials.
• Strong expertise in electrochemical techniques (EIS, CV, impedance-based sensing).
• Experience in device fabrication (microfabrication, thin films, paper-based electrodes, or printed electronics).
• Demonstrated experience in supervising research projects or students.
• Track record of peer-reviewed publications and/or patents.
• Fluency in English (Spanish and/or Catalan are a plus).

We strongly value:

Experience developing graphene-based electrochemical device platforms.

Strategic and critical thinking.

Proactive, solution-oriented mindset.

We actively encourage candidates from all walks of life that are connected to graphene oxide and other organic-based electronics, electrochemistry and printed technologies to freely apply to a position to our company. Send your CV, a motivation letter and send it to: careers@graphenicalab.com.
