NRC Quantum and Nanotechnologies Research Centre, situated on the main campus of the University of Alberta in Edmonton, is seeking a co-op student to support development and evaluation of novel biosensors based on microbial fuel cells (MFCs). The project builds upon successful deployment of proof-of-concept devices to further develop robust and reliable bioelectrochemical sensors.

The project spans a broad range of concepts and technologies, involving microbiology, electronics, fluidics, materials science and chemistry, rapid prototyping, and machine learning. As such, it presents an opportunity for a qualified candidate to contribute their existing skills, but also to learn and grow in a complex, cross-disciplinary R&D environment. The incumbent will work as part of a small team that interacts with external partners and technology receptors.

We intend to hire one student for an eight month term, from January through August 2026; exceptional candidates will be considered for a four month term (January – April 2026).

Interested candidates may apply through UofA campusBRIDGE, job ID 133615 (Faculty of Engineering) and job ID 133622 (Faculty of Science).
