About the role
About SAVA
All the health information we need is within us. Just below the skin. SAVA is redefining the way people interact with their health by developing the most advanced biosensing technology science has to offer, capable of accessing bodily information in a painless, real-time and affordable way.
The Role
At Sava we are building a next-generation biosensor capable of tracking multiple biomarkers in real-time just beneath the skin. We are looking for a Scientist to join our New Analytes team to help drive the development of novel sensing technologies.
Working closely alongside our Senior Scientist and R&D Team, you will support and execute hands-on laboratory work, own development cycles and characterise sensor performance. This is an ideal role for someone early in their career who wants hands-on-responsibility, strives for ownership of their work and is looking to develop a career within biosensing. If you want to see your practical work impact a real-world application, this role would be great fit for you.
What You’ll Do
You will support all lab based R&D activities designed to progress new sensor technologies from conceptualisation, towards clinical validation. In this role, you will report to the New Analytes Team Lead and will:
- Execute laboratory work as a core part of the role, contributing across sensor testing and routine QC activities
- Support sensor performance characterisation using electrochemical test methods
- Characterise novel sensing blend formulations using defined tools and QC instrumentation
- Contriubute to the development and updates to test protocols, QCIs, MPIs and SOPs to improve sensor reproducibility
- Support knowledge transfer by generating, analysing and reporting data
- Champion continuous improvement by identifying areas for improvements across routine testing, protocols and day-to-day lab activities
What We’re Looking For
- BSc or MSc in chemistry, natural sciences, bioscience or a related discipline with a strong emphasis on practical laboratory based work.
- Hands-on experience working with enzymes and/or biosensors (e.g. through a research project, placement or industry role).
- Accurate, thorough lab record keeping and attention-to-detail
- A pragmatic attitude and quality first mindset to approaching problems
Bonus Points For
- Working knowledge of potentiostats (e.g. Palmsense, Metrohm)
- Experience in a start-up or fast-growing company (prefferably Biotech/Medical device)
- Experience working with biosensors (enzymmatic, aptamer, ionophore)
Why Sava
Few people get to work on technology that could change how millions of people understand their own bodies. Here, you will. You’ll own real problems from your first week, work alongside people who are exceptional at what they do, and see your work go straight into the product.
The problems are hard, the pace is fast and the work is often messy. If that’s what gets you out of bed in the morning, we’d love to hear from you.
