Analytics, offering a career-defining opportunity to shape the global
agenda for data-driven research and innovation across disciplines. The role
provides the opportunity to contribute to a bold, forward-looking research
environment where advanced analytical methods, data-intensive approaches and
emerging developments in artificial intelligence are transforming translational
