• Ability to communicate complex information clearly
• Fluency in relevant models, techniques or methods and ability to contribute to developing new ones
• Ability to assess resource requirements and use resources effectively
• Understanding of and ability to contribute to broader management/administration processes
• Co-ordinate own work with others to avoid conflict or duplication of effort

Benefits

• Opportunity to work with state-of-the-art instrumentation
• Collaboration with national and international partners
• Contribution to the development of new experimental capabilities in nanophotonics and quantum optics
