The listing, marked up

Nothing in the wording of this listing tripped a check. The scores above still judge how complete and coherent it is.

We are seeking a motivated and collaborative individual to join our team as a Post-doctoral Research Associate. This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to research on the mechanics of floating structures. The role will focus on building mathematical models of fluid-structure interactions, developing new experimental activities and analysing data, and will take place within a dynamic and inclusive research environment.

How this was produced

Highlights are found by rule, not by a model: each one is a phrase matched at a known position, and every note is a template we wrote. The two scores come from a typed-decision model (Jev) that reads the listing against the official role definition and real listings for the same role, and returns probabilities rather than prose — it never writes any of the words on this page, and never chooses what to highlight.

Deterministic penalty applied to the HR score: 16 points (from 57 before penalties). Reviewed 29 Sep 2026.
