Let the Science and Technology Facilities Council (the Council) take you to a career at the leading edge of science and technology. Find out more about a journey into mind-blowing science at the Council’s scientific
and engineering research establishments.
The Council was formed on 1 April 2007 by merging CCLRC (The Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils) and PPARC (The Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council). The Council is the government’s flagship for major research facilities on the international stage.
The Council’s purpose is firstly to enhance the UK’s scientific competitiveness in an increasingly global market by funding the best research and providing our community with access to state-of-the-art global facilities. Secondly to provide leadership on behalf of the UK in assessing and engaging in new national and international large facilities and infrastructure. Thirdly to deliver greater economic impact for the UK through a proactive knowledge exchange programme that harnesses innovative technology developed within universities, campuses and international facilities.
Headquartered in Swindon, the Council has six world-class institutions:
• Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Oxfordshire
• Daresbury Laboratory, Cheshire
• Chilbolton Observatory, Hampshire
• Astronomy Technology Centre (ATC), Edinburgh
• Isaac Newton Group (ING) telescopes, La Palma, Canary Islands
• Joint Astronomy Centre (JAC), Hawaii.
Research activities are supported with world-class, large-scale facilities and an extensive pool of scientific and technological expertise, skills and innovation. This helps bring insight into a broad range of problems, from determining the composition of atoms to exploring the vastness of space.
Training and development
Opportunities and support available to help staff develop their skills and knowledge include:
• on-site courses, lectures and workshops
• support to attend external courses
• support to gain professional qualifications
• accredited management courses
• informal learning lunches
• excellent libraries
• extensive open-learning resource collections
• mentoring schemes.
Degree disciplines
Mechanical engineering, Electrical control engineering, Microelectronics, Software engineering and Science (in particular Physics).
Graduate engineers are encouraged to join our IMechE- or IET-accredited schemes to work towards chartered status.
Interviews and assessment will take place in January 2008.
