Liverpool, United Kingdom Liverpool John Moores University Full time

Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

This research support assistant position will support the team members in a number of ways, including carrying out CT scanning and photogrammetry, assisting in building experimental apparatus (including robotic indenting apparatus), in developing scripts and digital workflows, and in ensuring data is appropriately archived for sharing among team members, and ultimately for making openly accessible at time of publication. This is a fixed term post for 5-years.

You will have experience with some (but likely not all) of the following areas: palaeontology, unix and HPC computing, X-ray and CT, 3D modelling packages (e.g. Blender).

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join LJMU in our bicentenary year and with the launch of our new strategic plan.

If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.

LJMU is committed to achieving equality of opportunity and encourages individuals from all backgrounds and communities, and in particular those that are currently under represented in our workforce. This includes, but is not limited to, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) applicants, LGBTIQ+ applicants, applicants with disabilities, and female or non-binary applicants. The School has an active Equality Diversity & Inclusion group that aims to support an open and inclusive culture.

LJMU are committed to adhering to the Principles set out in the Researcher Development Concordat; in line with this all fixed-term researchers will be supported to complete 10 days professional development activities per year (pro-rata).
