The position will be based at NPL's Teddington site, involving occasional travel, such as customer site visits, in situ measurements work and representing NPL at national and international meetings, conferences and events. Qualifications To be successful in the role, you will be sought out and internationally respected by the underwater acoustics community for your expertise and have: Proven experience winning, leading and conducting international research work with published articles in internationally recognised scientific journals. Experience leading national and international standards development, or a track record contributing to underwater acoustics standards. Track record developing and implementing technical solutions in underwater acoustics funded by the civil and/or defence sectors.

Experience managing full life cycle of large scale research programs. Demonstrable experience leading and motivating scientific and technical staff. To lead and inspire a scientific team, not only will you need to be a leading expert in your field, you'll also need experience of motivating a team. Inspirational, influential and a relationship builder, you have the scientific and commercial awareness to help NPL achieve our ambitions. Beyond that, we're looking for someone who'll thrive in an environment like ours. At NPL we learn from each other, respect each other and work together to do better. For ourselves and for our customers. And whilst we're always looking to stretch beyond what we know, we don't make things more complicated when there's no need. We actively recruit citizens of all backgrounds, but the nature of our work in specific departments means that nationality, residency and security requirements can be more tightly defined than others. To work in this role at NPL, you will need to have an SC clearance, or you must have the ability to obtain an SC clearance. Please note: Applications will be reviewed, and interviews conducted throughout the duration of this advert therefore we may at any time bring the closing date forward.
