**Role**:

To be eligible for this role you must, on 1 September 2023 be in the first four years (full-time equivalent research experience) of your research career and have not been awarded a doctoral degree. On 1 September 2023 you must not have resided or carried out your main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the UK for more than 12 months in the preceding 3 years.

- Willingness to work proactively with colleagues in other work areas/institutions
