We are excited to be recruiting for three College Research and Knowledge Exchange (KE) Managers in our University’s Research and Knowledge Exchange Office. Our recruitment drive reflects The University of Westminster’s ambitions for research as well as KE and its excellent REF2021 outcomes.
The College Research and KE Managers will be responsible for expanding the University’s ability to apply for research and KE income and post-award administration. They will facilitate pre-award grant development, costing and pricing support for research and KE bids and horizon scanning for appropriate opportunities with the help the Research and Knowledge Exchange Office’s (RKEOs) central service colleagues.
Post holders will have responsibility for managing the operational delivery of our research strategy across one of our three Colleges through a business partnering model, ensuring delivery of all work to appropriately high standards.
The posts will be managed using a matrix management system and the Associate Heads of College (Research and KE) will be primary contacts alongside the Head of RKEO. The College Research and KE managers will act as the link between College-level research and KE related colleagues and activities, other professional service units and University-level research and KE management teams, processes and procedures, creating a seamless, customer-focussed service provision.
College Research and KE managers will lead College-level training events for researcher development, grant acquisition workshops and sandpits and writing activities and retreats. They will support high-profile, strategic dissemination events in collaboration with the University’s events, marketing and communications teams.
The posts are based in the West End, London but the post holder may be expected to work at any of the University sites as required. We have a Smart Working approach that allows for some off-site working; it is expected that the post holder will be onsite for an average of two days per week at a minimum. Other arrangements are subject to agreement through our Flexible Working Policy and Procedure.
