Research and Engagement Coordinator

The Cambridge Centre for Data-Driven Discovery (C2D3) and the Centre for Integrative Neuroscience Discovery (CIND) are seeking to appoint a dynamic and highly communicative Research and Engagement Coordinator to build and maintain effective relationships with partners in the academic community and industry. This is a shared role between the two research centres, with synergies in the areas of computation, data science and AI research. 

The centres and the activities of the role

CIND focuses on cross-disciplinary research at the intersections of neurocognition, neurocomputation and neurotechnology. The role manages day-to-day operations, working with its Committees to deliver CIND's mission to promote interdisciplinary collaboration in integrative neuroscience discovery across the University, other national/international institutions, and industry partners.

C2D3 is one of a select group of Interdisciplinary Research Centres at the University. C2D3 provides overarching data science and AI organisation to support a virtual community. The University's portfolio of AI and data science research is rapidly expanding, with an increasing role for C2D3 to play. The role will foster new relationships including with academics, industry and external organisations. With guidance from the Steering Committee, the role will create and run an industry club to help organisations access the University (e.g., student internships, PhD studentships, research projects, training etc.). 

The role holder

We are seeking an individual who enjoys working in a fast-paced and dynamic environment and has excellent organisation, attention to detail, and relationship management skills. You will also enjoy negotiating and persuading in order to work effectively with individuals, groups, and external organisations, particularly with senior leaders. There are plenty of opportunities for the role holder to be creative with their own ideas in order to achieve the activities of both programmes.

Limit of tenure: 21 months. The funds for this post are available for 21 months in the first instance, and the post may, subject to the availability of funding, be renewed for a further period.
