  • Monitor research progress against timelines and compile comprehensive progress reports and technical milestone documentation for funding agencies and project stakeholders.
  • Serve as the primary liaison coordinating research activities and communication between internal research teams, external partners, and industry or government collaborators.
  • Drive the research group’s academic throughput by leading the drafting, submission, and publication of high-impact manuscripts in top-tier, peer-reviewed international scientific journals.
  • Co-supervise and provide daily technical and professional mentorship to post-doctoral fellows, research associates, project officers, and postgraduate (PhD/Master's) students.
  • Assist the Principal Investigator (PI) in conceptualizing, writing, and submitting competitive research grant proposals to secure future funding.

  • Proven hands-on expertise in advanced laboratory instrumentation, experimental techniques, numerical modeling, and domain-specific engineering analytical tools.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently run a research team, coordinate complex research schedules, and consistently meet deliverable deadlines.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
