The Research Development Team is a unit of research funding specialists dedicated to supporting academic colleagues to develop their research from inception to application. Our team covers all four Faculties across the breadth of mainstream funding remits and we are active in providing funder intelligence and working with academic colleagues to keep abreast of future trends in the funding landscape. We focus on the ideas-formation and relationship building end of the spectrum and work with individuals and groups to explore ideas with a view to developing these into strong research funding applications.

To succeed in this role, it will be necessary to assimilate a very wide brief and to rapidly gain an understanding of a broad spectrum of academic knowledge. Specifically this role is aligned to support the growth of the Department of Engineering which has seen a significant expansion in the ! number of staff it employees in recent years. This investment of university finances is accompanied with an annual target to see the Departments Research activities increase to £10m. Applicants will be expected to be physically present and visible within the Department on a near weekly basis in order to develop and maintain good positive network of relationships.

We believe this role presents an excellent opportunity for candidates to begin a career in research development. We welcome applications from individuals with strong transferable skills and experience from different careers and sectors. You may have worked in research management for a number of years and be looking for another opportunity.
