The Cavendish Laboratory is the place of pioneering physics, that's been at the forefront of scientific discovery for 150 years, and will continue to be, because we never sit still. The Cavendish Laboratory has made several important discoveries, including: the discovery of the electron (1897), the neutron (1932), the structure of DNA (1953); thirty Cavendish researchers have won Nobel Prizes. We're trailblazers who continue to extend the frontiers of physics.
The Department has moved into our new state-of-the-art, multi-million pound Ray Dolby Centre which will be the centrepiece of the new Cavendish Laboratory. This is an exciting and challenging time for the Department, and we would like to find a highly motivated individual with a positive attitude towards change and development to join us.
A reorganisation and merger of several professional services teams within the Department of Physics has led to the creation of Cavendish Engineering - one of the largest, most advanced multidisciplinary university workshops within the UK.
We are looking for someone with a very strong electronics background, who wants to be challenged with unique problems daily - regularly back to first principles, with no two days likely to be the same. If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
We encourage early applications as they will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The vacancy may close before the advertised deadline if a sufficient number of suitable applications are received.
Previous applicants need not apply.
