We are looking for an exceptional impact and engagement manager to make a leading contribution to research impact literacy and culture across our Faculty of Health and Education
If you have the skills and experience to build strong relationships with academic and professional services colleagues and can help them to understand the ways in which research can enable the development of economic and societal impact – then we would love to have a conversation with you about what we can offer.
You will play a leading role in the development of the faculty's impact strategy working alongside research leaders to embed appropriate plans and activities into research groups and departments. You will lead on the development of a portfolio of impact case studies for REF 2028 looking to build on an outstanding set of results in REF 2021 in which our high-quality impact in disciplines such as Education, Allied Health, Social Work and Social Policy and Sport and Exercise Science showcased the range of our impacts on policy, practice and health and social care.
You will join a high-performing research impact and engagement team in the University's Research and Innovation Directorate, working alongside colleagues to deliver on the aims of our new Research Strategy and our wider Road to 2030 vision which positions Research Excellence with Impact as one of two core goals.
You will have access to state-of-the-art resources at the heart of Manchester's Oxford Road Corridor, you will get to work alongside friendly people from all parts of Manchester and beyond and, most importantly of all, you will have an opportunity to make a real difference to the University's strategic direction, the quality of our mission-focused research and the impact that it has on people's lives.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to get in contact with Director of Research Environment, Sam Gray for an initial discussion: s.gray@mmu.ac.uk
