This position represents a unique opportunity to be involved in a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary project. Working as part of a team of 7 postdocs, 5 PhD students, 3 research technicians, 2 data scientists and 8 group leaders, across 3 universities (Leeds, Nottingham and Sheffield), you will have the opportunity to develop excellent skills in communication, teamwork and collaboration.
