Please apply here: Imperial Global Singapore - Research Engineer, IN-CYPHER (sage.hr)
Imperial College London and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) are seeking Research Engineers to join the exciting new Imperial/NTU CYber Protection for HEalthcaRe (IN-CYPHER) research programme on the cybersecurity of connected medical devices and systems. The research programme represents a collaboration between the United Kingdom and Singapore and will be based at the newly established Imperial Global Singapore (IGS).
IN-CYPHER is comprised of four interacting themes, spanning the design of intelligent medical devices through to the use of their data in informing personalised healthcare. Allied to other programmes in Singapore and the UK, it represents a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of research and development into securing the vital information that flows from implantable, wearable and connected medical devices, and the personalised healthcare systems that consume such data. The four themes of IN-CYPHER are:
- Theme 1 Protecting Implantable Devices
- Theme 2 Securing Connected Wearables & Healthcare Systems
- Theme 3 Algorithms for Privacy, Security and Provenance
- Theme 4 Clinical Innovation & Translation
Connected medical devices are increasingly employed in the drive towards increasingly personalised health, and in delivering virtually all aspects of healthcare. With key researchers and teams from both Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, we seek to develop deep technologies that are informed by threat models for the emerging area of personalised medicine, and specifically where patient stratification or treatment personalisation leverages processes that use data-driven machine learning.
Given the span of the IN-CYPHER programme, we are seeking up to 4 motivated research engineers to join the IN-CYPHER programme. Unique in its scope, we are developing technologies that span embedded systems, and the protocols used to control and communicate sensitive patient information, all the way up to interventional devices and systems for personalised healthcare.
We are particularly looking for research engineers with the following backgrounds:
- Cybersecurity engineering
- Large Language Models (particularly fine-tuning LLMs, and Mixtures of Experts)
- ASIC design and hardware engineering
- Biomedical sensor design and fabrication
- Data science
- Biomedical Engineering
- Software engineering
- Cybersecurity threat modelling
- Data-driven personalised healthcare
- Model-based personalised healthcare (e.g. pharmokinetic modelling)
- Translational and regulatory expertise in medical devices
The collaborating Departments include senior academics from the Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction and the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial – the largest Biomedical Engineering Department in the UK – and senior researchers from the School of Computer Science and Engineering (SCSE), School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine at Nanyang Technological University. Candidates will be employed by Imperial Global Singapore, a research division of Imperial College London, consistently ranked within the top 10 of the QS University Rankings. Candidates must be resident and based in Singapore, but there will be opportunities for research visits to Imperial’s London-based locations.
