The successful candidate will have extensive experience analysing scientific data sets, either in academia or industry, preferably in one of the research areas mentioned above.

Familiarity with other coding languages, in particular C++, and high-performance computing is desirable. They must be highly organised and motivated and should demonstrate aptitude for programme coordination. It is expected that they will hold a PhD in mathematics or physics (or a cognate discipline).

Due to the fast-moving nature of the topics covered in the MPhil and research within the CDT, the role holder would be expected to be research active, to participate in one or more of the research groups associated with the programme, and to maintain their knowledge of the current status of research, and techniques used within them. The successful candidate will be expected to support the MPhil by the creation and delivery of course modules; the supervision, assessment, and examination of modules; and the provision of computational projects for the new Master's degree. They will support the management and running of the CDT primarily by overseeing the students participation on the MPhil, their industrial placements, and day to day coordination of the centre and liaison with the students. They will also be expected to participate in the administration of tasks associated with the academic delivery of these programmes like overseeing the seminar series and industry led modules, and the coordination and delivery of non-examined short courses on advanced topics or transferable skills.
