Recruitment Process

The Bio-Boost application process is broken into the 3 stages outlined below:

Stage 1: Application Form

Applicants at this stage are asked to complete a motivational statement, detail relevant industry, life and/or research experience as well as detail academic qualifications. 

Applications at this stage are reviewed by the Bio-Boost leadership team. Personal characteristics will be removed to minimise bias.

Stage 2: Application Form

Eligible applicants with a strong motivation to join Bio-Boost will be asked to complete a 2nd application form. This 2nd form is focused on the candidate being able to demonstrate wastewater and cohort specific knowledge and competences. Personal characteristics will again be removed to minimise bias.

Applications at this stage are evaluated by supervisory team against set criteria, the results of which are fed into the leadership team who conduct the final shortlisting
