About you

We are seeking a technical coordinator who is keen to develop thought leadership in technical areas by developing close working relationships across LCF. This will include students, course leaders, the research community and commercial organisations seeking to explore fashion science.

You will be able to create new opportunities to develop and enhance the student experience. Key skills may include but not be limited to areas of Cosmetic Science and Fashion Psychology. A Postgraduate degree is desirable. Knowledge of eyetracking, galvanic skin response, basic programming skills relevant platforms (i.e. R, python), proficient in SPSS and NVivo, experience working with survey platforms like Gorilla, Psytoolkit and SoSci surveys, strong knowledge of statistics, experience with ethical aspects of working with human participants in and outside of laboratory settings as well as an excellent knowledge and understanding of working and maintaining labs within higher education. 

We are seeking a candidate who is able to work simultaneously across multiple projects and sites to build a network of technologies, technicians, experiments and ideas for students, staff and research fellows to interact with.

You will be a confident presenter, able to inspire with your dictionary of science and technology experience, and you will question and work with our academic community to make the seemingly impossible a reality for fashion.

Our remit is broad, and whilst we are seeking a candidate who specialises in one or more areas, we are searching for a hybrid technical leader who is excited about the possibilities of working in a future facing technical role for fashion science.
