Exeter, United Kingdom University of Exeter Full time

These UKRI Frontier Research Guarantee funded, full time posts are available for a fixed term of 4 years, to support the work of Professor Kate Newey.

One post is available immediately and the other post is available from 6th January 2025. The successful applicants will undertake research and dissemination.

Summary of the roles
