Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom The Open University Full time

Terms: 3-year fixed term, half time positions – could be combined as a full-time position

Closing Date: Wednesday 5th June at 12 noon (GMT)

It is anticipated that a hybrid working pattern can be adopted for this role, where the successful candidate can, in part, work remotely from home (in the UK). However, as this role is contractually aligned to our Milton Keynes office, it is expected that attendance on our Milton Keynes campus will be required when necessary and in response to business needs, for example for laboratory-based research and/or supervision of research students or occasional team meetings.
