Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

MIRL is committed to advancing equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) across all aspects of its research, innovation and employment practices. We recognise that excellence in research is strengthened by diverse perspectives, inclusive environments and equitable access to opportunities.

We actively welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds and particularly encourage those from groups underrepresented in higher education and Computer Science, including (but not limited to) underrepresented genders, people from minority ethnic backgrounds, disabled people, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, individuals from low socio-economic backgrounds, and other historically marginalised or disadvantaged communities.

We are committed to removing structural barriers that may prevent talented individuals from accessing research and training opportunities. In line with Lancaster University principles, we seek to create inclusive, supportive and flexible environments that enable all researchers to thrive and to reach their full potential. Additional support and funding may be available to applicants from underrepresented or disadvantaged backgrounds, including those from low-income areas and vulnerable populations, in order to promote equitable participation and progression.

Through targeted initiatives and inclusive practices, we aim to increase the representation of underrepresented groups in Computer Science and related disciplines, building a more diverse, innovative and socially responsible research community.
