About the Role
We are looking for an entrepreneurial individual, with significant expertise in UK industry/research funding to join the growing Research Development team at Nottingham Trent University. We aspire to grow and diversify our funding portfolio across all our disciplines; further engagement and success with Innovate UK and other UK funders of collaborative R&D is an integral part of that process.
While the ability to navigate the operational side of funding for collaborative R&D is an important part of this role, the successful candidate will also have the skills to develop relationships across our research community, with academic and non-academic collaborators, and with key funders, in particular Innovate UK and UK Government. The successful candidate will be genuinely interested in research, understand the value and challenges of multidisciplinary approaches, and the importance of delivering impact beyond academia. They will be someone who quickly assimilates new information and intelligence, proactively makes linkages between different people, projects and opportunities, and has the tenacity and organisational skills to work with our researchers and their collaborators to develop clear, detailed, coherent project proposals. The majority of the role holder's time will be focused on Innovate UK funding streams, as well as other UK funders of industrially focused research, but there will also be opportunities to work with colleagues and collaborators to develop large, strategic bids with other funders, for example, CDTs, Research England E3 or UKRI Centres.
We are building on three key principles: Confidence in NTU as a research informed institution; Credibility to undertake research of the highest quality; Collaboration to deliver research that changes lives. We have recently refreshed our Strategic Research Themes (Health Innovation; Safety and Sustainability; Digital, Technology and Creative) which encompass all our Schools and will be dynamic and bustling with activity. They will be the vehicles through which we tell our narrative.
Closing Date: 13th October 2024
Interview date: 30th or 31st October
