  • support strategic thinking and the development of new research (and related) activities, building from the multiple disciplines working within bioscience and environmental research;
  • proactively foster new collaborations between academics and external stakeholders, driving research and generating income streams; and
  • proactively manage the development of high quality research proposals.
