  • Provide expert research funding advice and develop strategic bids at one of the UK’s leading universities. 

 Join us in this vital role and you’ll contribute to the delivery of the University’s research strategy by providing expert research funding advice and project managing the development and submission of strategically important projects.

Knowledge of the HEI research lifecycle and environment is essential, as is proven people management skills and the ability to initiate, plan and manage major new projects.

We’ll also look for the skill to identify broad trends to assess and resolve issues, the courage to apply originality in modifying existing approaches to solve problems, and the ability to work collaboratively within a dynamic team setting. Always ready to provide expert guidance and advice, your interpersonal skills will allow you to persuade and influence to foster excellent relationships with your colleagues and other stakeholders.
