• Experience in the use of materials characterisation techniques
• Experience in optical fibre drawing
**Qualifications**
Required Degree(s) in:
• Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Materials Science
• Closely related discipline
Other:
• Ph.D (or equivalent professional qualifications and experience)
• Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant Ph.D qualification. The title of Research Fellow will be applied upon successful completion of the Ph.D. Prior to the qualification being awarded the title of Senior Research Assistant will be given.
