a good honours degree in Engineering, Physics or other related subjects will be
considered. Applicants must be ordinarily resident in the UK for at least 3

21 Stranmillis Road, Belfast BT9 5AF, Northern Ireland. The curriculum vitae must

as a third referee. The closing date for receipt of curriculum vitaes is 1st
