Work with us!
The DVU group is a creative, positive and stimulating research group. We nurture your talent with 1-2-1 weekly or fortnightly meetings, regular fortnightly group meetings, quarterly review group meetings and dedicated technical and soft skills training opportunities. We celebrate diversity, success, and most importantly, we openly chat about setbacks and learn from things that inevitably do not go as planned. We provide flexible working patterns and direct access to a network of international collaborators. We value your time off, your personal space, and your technical contribution.
The DVU group's core values are: curiosity, innovation, integrity and well-being.
We are always looking for brilliant and motivated new additions to the DVU Group!
