The closing date for applications will be agreed between the Recruitment Partner and the Hiring Lead. For academic appointments, which require an international search, 6 weeks is considered the norm. Otherwise, closing dates are a minimum of two weeks from date of advertisement.

Principal Investigators’ are encouraged to liaise with the Recruitment Partner for their Faculty to ensure that their advertisements follow best practice guidelines and appear on as many appropriate media as possible.
