The Bristol Robotics Laboratory is the largest co-located establishment 
engaged in advanced Robotics and Autonomous Systems research and 
innovation. It is an exciting mix of fundamental and applied research in 
almost all topics relating to modern robotics, and especially those 
domains where robots work with us and amongst us to improve our lives. 
The FARSCOPE Centre for Doctoral Training is designed explicitly to 
deliver research outcomes in this domain and is already highly 
successful in doing so.

Due to the existing incumbent of this post moving on to new challenges, 
we now wish to fill this exciting and fulfilling position with a highly 
motivated and well-organised individual. In brief, the role is to 
provide technical support in Mechanical, Electronics/Electrical and 
Software disciplines for Research and Development being undertaken by 
the FARSCOPE CDT PhD students; to support the coordination and planning 
of work by the technical team supporting the FARSCOPE Programme in order 
to complete highly advanced R&D work; to provide technical advice and 
training to junior members of the technical team and to FARSCOPE 
students; to propose Robotic and Automated System solutions for FARSCOPE 
R&D projects.

The successful applicant will possess a degree in an Engineering or 
Computer Science related Subject, evidence of CPD and, ideally, a 
Research Degree in an Engineering or Computer Science related subject.
