The Astbury Centre brings together 400 researchers, with >65 academic staff from across the University - largely from the biological sciences, physics, chemistry and medicine to allow interdisciplinary approaches to be harnessed to understand the molecular basis of life. The Centre has outstanding expertise and research infrastructure in all major techniques in structural molecular biology, chemical biology and biophysics. Together, these approaches are combined with analyses of biological function with the ultimate aim of understanding the molecular basis of biological mechanisms in living cells.

You will work with Astbury’s leadership team, the Centre’s Industry Advisory Board, and Astbury aligned academic staff to identify and develop new strategic opportunities and leverage internal and external funding and to assist in the preparation and submission of high quality interdisciplinary research proposals in response to new external funding opportunities.

You will need to work effectively as part of multiple dynamic teams that can operate effectively in a complex and changing environment.

You will work with colleagues from across the University to provide a coordinated service across the full range of research and innovation activity: including knowledge-led innovation support to businesses (contract/collaborative research and consultancy) and commercial exploitation of intellectual property and the promotion of skills development programmes, in addition to the provision of support across the full range of research funders (including the UK Research Councils, government departments and charities and institutionally held Impact Acceleration Accounts).

As the successful candidate will have the capability to develop research and innovation proposals in complex organisation’s, they will have excellent project management skills and the ability to build performance-based partnerships alongside experience of working with academic teams in the development of successful external funding applications.
