We recently interviewed a set of candidates but received a very small number of applications and failed to appoint because we were not satisfied with the quality. Hence, I am writing to ask for your help. Please could you bring these posts to the attention of ambitious people who may be interested in coming to London and joining our Centre. Many thanks. With All My Best wishes for the New Year!
