Senior Application Scientists will lead and develop an interconnected diverse team of Application Scientists who, working with the Technology Platform Leads and Research and Business Engagement team, will engage with industry in the region (and the national RTO network), to identify, scope, and help deliver technical solutions in the area of materials science which cannot be supported by the existing national infrastructure. They will work closely with the wider University research Institutes and centres (i.e. Royce/Dalton Institute/ Dalton Cumbria Facility) and consortium partners’ technical and research teams to support businesses primarily SMEs throughout their journey.
The Senior Application Scientist is a leader in the wider team of Application Scientists - an experienced and versatile researcher who will apply their specialist technical expertise to engage directly with industry and research organisations developing and delivering projects at short notice across the Royce capabilities. They will have a key role in leading and mentoring the wider Application Scientist team, working with the Head of Research and Business Engagement and Royce CTO. They will focus on the development and delivery of short/sprint/pathfinder projects based around the capabilities of Royce’s world-leading infrastructure and national network of research expertise. In doing this they will leverage the capability across the Technology Platforms (facilities and people) within the Royce, draw on a wider network of expertise across the UK (where necessary), and build relationships across industry, RTOs and academia. In many cases, they will be a principal contact with the industry partner and guide the relevant Application Scientists in providing the necessary advice on the nature, scale and cost of the proposed project.
