My team try to be transparent and fair about appointing people\u00a0by involving as many people, from different backgrounds, as possible. We like to work with experienced people\u00a0but also some new blood from time to time.

The form is very straight-forward and simply captures some essential information about you so that we can find the right people for the right jobs. It&#8217;s not mandatory for you to fill the form in but, if you do, we will automatically consider you when appropriate curriculum development tasks arise.
