You will be responsible for initiating new projects, nurturing ideas and mentoring students. You will establish new network groups, bringing together different research groups and laboratories developing research bids, fellowship applications, seminars and symposia, exhibitions and portfolios, working with local outreach and international communities, and enhancing the impact and dissemination of research.

As a researcher, you will need to demonstrate a portfolio of internationally significant outputs, for example, as high-quality journal papers, inventions and conference presentations.
