We therefore anticipate the following:  £40k – £55k FTE  We are advertising this role at 0.6 FTE (we could consider a minimum of 0.4 FTE).
We are pleased to accommodate flexible and hybrid working where appropriate but, as this is a people-centred role within a small company, we expect that in-person collaboration time will be highly valuable, so encourage time spent in the office and expect this when required.  Other Benefits:   Employee share option scheme  Optional compressed hours working pattern (e.g.
9-day fortnight)  Flexible working arrangements where possible  25 days paid leave and bank holidays   Annual discretionary training allowance  Company matched pension contributions up to 5%  Travel to work loan scheme  (You'll be driving the strategy for what we add next
)  ------------------------------- Job Closing Date : Until position is filled.

Interview Dates : Starting 6th January 2025 Interview Process : Initial telephone/ video calls will be used for shortlisting candidates.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an in-person interview.
------------------------------- Our Company Mode Labs, a spin-out from the University of Oxford, are developing an innovative remote autonomous chemical sensor platform to address the growing need to understand and monitor the world around us.
As part of our initial mission, Mode Labs are targeting the development of a remotely deployable sensor to act within the water quality market and address the unmet and growing needs of environmental legislation across the country and beyond. Our Vision is to bring chemical understanding outside of the laboratory, delivering clear and concise measurement data where it is needed most.
