Sensory Science Manager (SCI352718)

The Sensory Science Centre (SSC) is internationally renowned for both its sensory research and teaching, boasting state of the art facilities and two expert panels for product assessment. This role is an excellent opportunity for a self-motivation individual to take on the varied and rewarding role of the SSC manager in a globally recognised group.

The SSC manager will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the facilities, panels and a part-time sensory technician. In addition to supporting undergraduate, postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers in their sensory projects, the appointee would also be expected to carry out sensory research projects for Industry and/or research grants. The role also requires involvement in the delivery of practical classes across the taught sensory programmes within the School or Biosciences.

Candidates should have, or be close to completion of a PhD in Sensory Science, or, a related subject that demonstrates experience in Sensory Science research. In addition, it would be good if the applicant(s) has excellent communications skills and considerable experience collecting data from human subjects leading to sensory research of international quality. A publication record and experience of teaching/training are also preferable. Candidates must demonstrate excellent analytical skills, be self-motivating and be able to work as part of a team.
