Cambridge, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

The Cavendish Laboratory (Department of Physics) has a rare opportunity for a new dynamic and highly skilled Head of Electronics to join our passionate and dedicated community. The roleholder will lead the strategic development and transformation of the Department's electronics services to enhance the Cavendish's continued growth and success. The department's electronics workshop operates a wide-ranging support service whose remit includes analogue, digital and RF design and manufacturing, PCB design and manufacturing, electrical/electronic system integration and remanufacturing, as well as automation and control of laboratory systems. The electronics workshop is also responsible for supporting a wide range of departmental equipment, including within individual laboratories and involving minor repairs when appropriate and viable. As well as working closely with research groups on specific projects, the workshop also offers training in basic electronics, consultation and one-to-one support (e.g. in PCB design) and general electronics based problem solving.

The Cavendish Laboratory is at an exciting point in its 150-year history, and undergoing a substantial period of transformation, as it prepares for its relocation to a beautiful, purpose-built physics facility, the Ray Dolby Centre, which will be the centre-piece of the new Cavendish III Laboratory. The Department is home to over 2000 staff, students and visitors across a large range of disciplines and categories, where exemplary delivery of world-leading, innovative research programmes and teaching takes place and where the provision of local electronics support continues to be vital to our physics research activity.

As a senior member of the Department, you will work closely with the Head of Cavendish Estates to ensure the Department's approach to the electronics provision is both collaborative and innovative. You will lead, and work operationally with, the dedicated electronics team to ensure the smooth and efficient running of all electronics services within the Department.

This full-time post is available now. Additional information regarding the role may be found within the Further Particulars via the link below.

Interviews will be held on 14 or 15 October 2024.

Some of our many benefits include:

- 41 days annual leave, inclusive of Bank Holidays
- Family & Work-life balance policies including hybrid working and generous carer leave (maternity, paternity, shared parental leave, adoption leave), amongst others
- Generous pension scheme
- Exclusive employee discounts via our CamBens scheme
- Personal Development: The Department actively encourages and supports personal development and our staff have access to a wide range of courses and training via our Personal and Professional Development (PPD) service.
