wire cutters). For example, one might define the distinction between a “door” and a “sash window” as a cover which is positioned by an opening

We would recommend against using large language / generative AI models to formulate your responses. Experience shows that such responses only superficially touch on the key points.
At Mewburn Ellis we are passionate about diversity and inclusion and we are proud to be using Rare Recruitment's Contextual Recruitment System which allows us to consider your achievements in the context in which they were gained. We understand that not every candidate’s achievements look the same on paper – and we want to recruit the best people, from every background. So after sending through your application, we will send you a link to complete a short questionnaire (less than 5 minutes) so you can provide the context for your achievements.
When you have submitted your written pieces and been given some time to provide some contextual information via the Rare Recruitment questionnaire we will review your application. If invited for interview you are given the opportunity to discuss your CV, scientific achievements and motivations, as well as to ask your own questions about the job. A second interview is held for candidates who are put forward from the first round. There are technical elements to both stages which will be explained when you are invited. Please note both stages are virtual and if you’re successful we’ll arrange an office visit so you can meet the team you’re likely to work with, see the workspace and get a ‘feel’ for our firm and culture.
Please be aware that we do receive a large number of applications, to all of which we give our full consideration. Be assured that we will respond as soon as we can but, particularly at peak times, this may take a few weeks.
