• Collaborate with scientific, clinical and translation partners, to translate research ideas into real-world application and/or positive societal impact
• Attend relevant workshops as necessary
• Develop contacts and research collaborations within IGS, Imperial, NTU and the wider community
• Promote the positive reputation of IGS, IN-CYPHER Programme
• Contribute to the writing of grant proposals to secure funding for the research program
• Participate in group research meetings and internal seminars
• Contribute to the smooth running of IN-CYPHER and other programmes under IGS
• Assist in the supervision of undergraduate interns, postgraduate research students and research assistants as required
• Comply with IGS’ and CREATE practices and to attend courses on safety when appropriate
• Any other duties as may be deemed reasonable by scientific and operations managers of IGS, IN-CYPHER and scientific investigators of the relevant Themes.

• At Research Fellow level: a PhD (or equivalent) in a closely related discipline
• Experience of applying skills relevant to one or more of the advertised positions in a research/production environment
• Experience in analysis, interpretation and visualisation of scientific data
• Knowledge of methods relevant to one or more of the advertised positions
• Ability to work independently and with minimal supervision and prioritise work in response to deadlines
• Ability to work collaboratively, as part of a large, distributed team, potentially across different time-zones
• Discipline and regard for confidentiality and security

The job descriptions for each role contain detailed person specifications.

What we can offer you:

• Interdisciplinary research environment with access to domain expertise ranging from cyber-security over AI, electrical engineering, to clinical practice
• Extensive resources to support your work (e.g., CAD tools, GPU servers, wet lab space)
• Research with impact – we are directly addressing the needs of multiple local stakeholders which are representative of the global developments
• The opportunity to continue your career at a world-leading institution and be part of our mission to continue science for humanity
