Here’s more about the role and what we’re looking for:
The purpose of this role is to provide proactive and holistic research project management for Becoming Regenerative: Innovation for Renewal through Entrepreneurship and Interspecies Creativity (B-Regen Project). A new transdisciplinary UKRI-funded project led by Dr Tuukka Toivonen (Reader in Regenerative Design & Innovation, Loughborough University London), B-Regen unpacks the emergence of new regenerative innovations and startups over three years in unprecedented detail. This project is due to be conducted together with co-Investigators at the Royal College of Art and the Institute for Global Prosperity at University College London, the main academic partner organisations.
We are looking for a highly organised, entrepreneurial, and experienced individual with a record of successfully coordinating and overseeing core activities on international research projects in higher education and/or think tank environments. We also look for creativity and insight regarding the coordination of public events and our project's online appearance and branding (which will likely involve collaboration with and managing the contracts of several freelance designers and artists). Applicants will furthermore be asked to submit evidence of excellent written communication and copy-editing skills.
The selected candidate will help lead the strategic and core day-to-day activities of the project team, which comprises the Principal Investigator, two co-investigators, two Post-Doctoral Research Fellows, the University’s Research Management & Administration (RMA) service, and relevant Loughborough University staff. External partners are due to include a high-profile fashion brand, a salient fashion network, an international sustainable startup network as well as the RCA and UCL.
This is an opportunity for a motivated individual with several years of relevant experience to contribute to the success of a regenerative design and entrepreneurship research project of high visibility and significance within the UK and globally. The project will intersect with emerging fields such as regenerative fashion, architecture, biodesign, regenerative AI and entrepreneurship support.
