About the role
Salary: UCL grade 9 (£61,923 – 67,259 per annum, inclusive of London Allowance)

The Senior User Experience Engineer will support both experimental and theoretical work through the entire lifecycle of data, including acquisition, analysis, and modelling with a particular role in ensuring dissemination of data and visualization tools to the broader neuroscience community.
The post holder will work with scientists in our member labs to develop and ensure the smooth running of all software and hardware systems. This will require travel to member labs to solve problems that cannot be solved remotely.

As this is a distributed collaboration, much of the work is remote. However, the candidate should be prepared to travel to all partner sites.
