Cranfield is internationally recognised for groundbreaking achievements in diagnostics.

This new and exciting research area will involve, developing, qualifying and validating MIPs for detecting drugs of abuse in saliva.

The successful candidates will have a Ph.D. and excellent organizational and communication skills. They should have a demonstrable track record of scientific achievement and innovation in MIP science (or relevant skills in chemistry) preferably along with application of MIPs for analysis or extraction.
