The University of York has set out its vision to become a University for Public Good in its 2023 strategy. IT Services actively supports that commitment. We're looking for individuals who want to be part of making a difference, using industry-leading technology to support our vision and deliver exceptional services. Working at a learning organisation, we offer a collaborative, flexible environment where growth is supported, teams care for each other, and inquiring minds can thrive.
This role is focused on supporting academics in applying new and emerging technologies across a range of research areas. This could include development of cross-platform mobile applications (for example the BabblePlay app) or supporting the activities of the new The Smart Data Donation Service. Whilst experience of front-end development and/or mobile app development would be beneficial to the role, an aptitude for learning and applying new technologies is equally important.
