We are looking for an exceptional Senior Research Fellow to oversee the creation and management of 3D visualisation solutions across the 2020 Science research programme. The post is funded by a large EPSRC grant and will involve working on projects based across three principle sites, Oxford, UCL and Microsoft Research, Cambridge.

Applicants should have a degree or PhD in a relevant area (e.g. Information Design, Computational Science, Mathematical or Computational Biology, Applied Mathematics, or Computer Science) coupled with an excellent portfolio of research in visualisation or information design.
