Wellcome is a global charitable foundation. We improve health for everyone by funding science, leading policy and advocacy campaigns, and building partnerships.
We plan to spend £16bn over the next ten years, funding new discoveries in life, health and well being, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate. These challenges need the bold research our funding supports, but they won’t be solved by science alone.
The Discovery Research team supports a broad programme of curiosity driven research that leads to significant shifts in our understanding of life, health and wellbeing. We are pursuing these goals through both open and directed funding routes to enable individuals and teams to pursue bold and creative research within our broad remit.
Recognising the value of the research community, we are committed to recruiting a permanent Researcher Networks Manager to the Discovery Research team. This new role will be critical in developing and establishing new ways for us to forge partnerships with individuals and established networks within the research and funding communities. We want to use Wellcome’s position as a major independent funder to bring people together, support opportunities for new research ideas to flourish and to continue to promote the reforms needed to create a positive research culture within the UK and internationally.
The role holder will be the lead point within Discovery Research for scoping, developing and driving team-level strategic engagement with external researcher communities, across a breadth of research disciplines, as well as networking with other organisations involved in this work.
