The University of Glasgow is co-leading a consortium of seven universities, supporting the formation of a new national research centre funded by a significant UKRI and stakeholder co-investment for a 5-year and £45M programme of challenge-led research into digital twinning for transport decarbonisation. Such an ambitious research programme demands a significant project management team, led by the Hub Manager, with support from two project and industrial engagement managers (PIEMs). The Research Hub is led by Heriot-Watt University, and the support team of seven roles is based principally in Heriot-Watt, with one PIEM based at the University of Glasgow. All support roles report directly to the Hub Manager, who sits on the Executive Team of the Research Hub. The PIEMs will manage research teams comprised of researchers from all of the institutional partners, working in close collaboration.
The research builds on highly successful consultation which explored transport decarbonisation and mode integration. This new national research hub will be responsible for delivering new knowledge, technical capabilities and policy advisement relating to UK transport decarbonisation priorities. This highly ambitious programme of research is supported by over 65 industrial, research and stakeholder organisations.
The successful candidate will direct the delivery of work packages and demonstration models across the consortium (all academic and industry partners) and maximise the contribution of the significant industrial resource committed to this work. It requires strong experience in project management and industrial engagement. This is an exciting opportunity to deliver a complex and transformative research programme to rapidly advance the decarbonisation of transport, building strong industrial and policy networks.
This post is full time (35 hours per week) and has funding available until 30th June 2029 in the first instance.
Closing date: 6 October 2024
