Applicant privacy notice.

This notice applies to applications for the ASR Graduate Research Associate Programme. It is separate from the general ASR Lab privacy policy. Applications are not open until the programme, compensation, dates and this notice have been approved.

We collect the information you provide in the application: your name, email address, optional phone number, country and region; university, department, degree level and postgraduate programme; research interests and experience; availability; and links to work samples, publications or a CV.

We do not ask for age, date of birth, gender, ethnicity, religion, marital status or photographs at application stage. Do not submit patient data, genomic files, unpublished confidential research, identity documents or unnecessary personal information.

We use application information to assess eligibility and fit, review applications, administer practical assessments and interviews, communicate about the recruitment process, and keep an auditable record of decisions.

We do not sell application data. We do not use applicant names, statements or documents for marketing analytics.

Access is limited to authorised ASR Lab staff and reviewers who need the information for the recruitment process. Reviewer access is role-based and, where applicable, restricted to assigned applications. Internal reviewer notes are not public.

We use infrastructure providers for hosting, database storage, authentication and transactional email. Those providers process data on our instructions and under their applicable terms. We do not add applicant data to third-party advertising or analytics tools.

Application records are retained only as long as needed for the recruitment process, resolution of any query, and applicable legal or audit obligations. A defined retention period will be published here before applications open; we will not infer one silently in code.

Subject to applicable law, you may ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of your application data, or object to certain processing. Contact us using the address below. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

For privacy questions about an application, write to hello@theasrlab.com with the subject “Applicant privacy”. We may update this notice before or during a recruitment cycle; material changes will be reflected here.
