A personal and professional outlook
Professional experience is important, but we're equally interested in your personal attributes. Adaptability and flexibility are important.

The ability to stay ahead of technical advances, learn rapidly and use your creativity to arrive at new solutions is essential. We make new discoveries at every opportunity – and that means we look for an independent mind set, intelligence and a willingness to go further and work harder to find answers. We believe outstanding individual performances are the result of teamwork – so the ability to communicate and collaborate with people at all levels and across disciplines is essential. Leadership skills are also valued, as is the ability to spot commercial opportunities.
