You will be a graduate, ideally in a computer science or information systems discipline with a 2:1 Hons or better.  You will have an interest in information systems and their application in business and decision-making. 

Salary range will be £20,000 to £21,000 per annum, with placement according to qualifications and experience. A personal development budget is also included in the post.

The post is offered for a period of 24 months.
