Statement on Equal Opportunities, Diversity and Inclusivity
We repeatedly and purpose work to build a research team which is inclusive, diverse and equitable through our recruitment, strategic decisions and collaborations. We seek out co-workers and collaborators that share this conviction that these characteristics are not only desirable in themselves but broaden the knowledge base of a research group, their creativity, and enhance the working environment.
We encourage under-represented groups to apply to work with us and pledge interviews will be conducted following best practice to mitigate unconscious bias, with standardised questions. Applicants from non-traditional backgrounds are encouraged to apply including those from academia, industry and those that have had career breaks. We strive to ensure we provide equal support and development opportunities to all individuals.
