Job description
City, University of London (City) and Delta-T Devices Ltd (Delta-T) are collaborating on a 30-month project developing a novel ceramic tensiometer for measuring water tension in soil.
Project description
The candidate will transfer biomedical sensor methodology to soil sensing to develop a novel tensiometer to measure water tension in soil.
Additionally, the candidate will understand and apply the principles, challenges and processes of bioimpedance and soil water tension sensing. The candidate will conduct computer-based FEM modelling and circuit design, simulation and testing, as well as perform field and lab-based experimental tasks to optimise sensor performance.
The candidate will generate journal publications from the results and manage the project plan, ensuring milestones and deliverables are met and reported at regular meetings and project reviews.
