How our sorting works

The order in which job vacancies are displayed is determined by a composite score based on the following factors:

  • Keyword Relevance: How well your search terms match the vacancy details. We prioritize matches found in the job title, followed by job requirements, location names, and educational levels. Matches within general employer information or the organization's name carry a lower weight.
  • Commercial Prioritization (Premium Jobs): Vacancies paid for by employers ('Premium' or 'Sponsored') receive a ranking boost and will appear higher in the search results.
  • Recency (Date Relevance): Newer vacancies are prioritized. The relevance score of a vacancy is reduced by half once the posting is older than 30 days.
  • Proximity (Distance Relevance): Vacancies located closer to your search location are ranked higher. For vacancies located more than 30 km from the search center, the relevance score is halved.
The final ranking is established by multiplying all these individual factors to calculate the total relevance score.

    To be considered for this role we are looking for people who have either recently finished a PhD or post-doc role which focused on imaging and optical technology. The company are considered people from different backgrounds, as long as you have a passion for high impact technology, so it could be defence applications through to medical device work that you have gained exposure to throughout academia. Any knowledge of image segmentation, transducer design, electronics or metrology technology is highly desirable to complement your strong physics foundation.

    In return for your hard work the company offer a highly competitive salary, with a bonus, and comprehensive benefits package as well providing excellent career progression opportunities and the chance to work on novel technologies.

    For more information make a confidential application now and a consultant at Newton Colmore will be in touch with more details.
