About the role

Join our thriving Centre of Excellence in Water-Based Systems for Health Protection and Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering as a Prize Fellow in Water Sensing Platforms.

The Centre of Excellence in Water-Based Early-Warning Systems for Health Protection (CWBE) is a £13m interdisciplinary research centre, established in 2024 with funding from Research England’s Expanding Excellence in England (E3) scheme, together with contributions from the University of Bath and partners.

We are working to transform public and environmental health management. We are establishing the first Urban Living Lab facility. This includes a new digital water sensing platform, training base, and idOur ambition is to provide a practical roadmap for a UK early-warning system. This will be co-produced with regional and national collaborators. It will serve as a sentinel and multigenerational testing site for research. novation.
