All shortlisted candidates will be interviewed and asked to make a short presentation of some aspect of their research to an audience of selection committee members and staff and students of DPIR and OSGA.
Circumstances such as caring responsibilities, ill health or disability may result in the quantity of a candidate's outputs being less than might otherwise be expected, therefore when considering candidate's research and publication record, career breaks will be taken into consideration.
