Job DescriptionThe University is a global institution known for innovation and world firsts, with 25 Nobel Prize winners. The computer revolution started here in 1948 when a machine known affectionately as ‘The Baby’, ran its first stored program. The celebrated wartime codebreaker Alan Turing worked on this computer during his time at Manchester. The University has committed to becoming one of the world’s leading research institutions through one of the largest investments in facilities ever seen at a UK university, with £750 million spent so far and another £1 billion to follow. Research IT (RIT) and the Research Platforms Team The research community at the University carries out world-leading research in many areas — beacons include advanced materials, industrial biotechnology and cancer treatments.
