You build lasting relationships between researchers and a product full of unanswered questions, and you make collaboration genuinely worth the university's time. Respect for academic independence is the whole basis of this working: a partnership that treats a lab as an outsourced team will not last or produce anything.
Open for applications. Starts at: Pilot expansion.
We are taking applications for this role now and building the pipeline for it. The stage above is when the work itself is expected to begin, which is something you deserve to know before you apply rather than after. It is context, not a gate.
