Universities have always been excellent at recognising the achievements of their academic staff, celebrating research successes and offering clear career progression paths for those in research and teaching roles. At the University of Nottingham, we have extended this recognition and broadened career opportunities to include all our staff. A recent focus has been on our technical specialists who are at the core of our successes in teaching, research and knowledge exchange.
The University of Nottingham is home to almost 700 technicians supporting student education and research across faculties and disciplines. From the new Power Electronics and Machines Centre, home to three purpose-built research labs, through to our Biomedical Research Centre, soon be home to the UK’s most powerful Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanner, our research infrastructure only delivers to its full potential because of our technical experts.
