Are you an experienced and ambitious research project manager looking to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive universities? Are you confident and efficient, and keen to help establish a new UK Network led by an internationally leading research group through strong engagement with academics from across the UK and Europe?

The University of Leeds has a long-standing international track record in the field of terahertz frequency electronics and photonics. Based in the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, the academic team benefits from an exceptional suite of research laboratories, and is supported by a number of large research programmes from a variety of funding bodies, many of which are collaborative with other UK or international research groups.

As Project Manager, you will provide professional support to a new EPSRC NetworkPlus grant in the area of Terahertz Systems, led by the Leeds Terahertz group, that starts in June 2025; our aim is to build a new UK Network of academic and industrial partners with the particular goal of enhancing collaboration between key UK terahertz research groups and their international (and particularly European) counterparts.  The role will embrace substantive management, engagement, reporting and administrative functions, and require interaction with a wide range of stakeholders across the University of Leeds, other UK and European higher education institutions, with funders including EPSRC, and with industry. These stakeholders will include senior academics, mid and early-career researchers and technical colleagues, and university professional support staff in marketing, communications, finance, purchasing, and outreach, as well as representatives of external funding bodies.

The Project Manager role is a position of high responsibility that requires excellent interpersonal skills, managing a broad range of stakeholder relationships including those across the many UK universities involved in the Network, as well as a broad range of operational expertise, including financial management, and reporting on research accomplishments by Network members.

Providing direct professional support to the Project Lead, Professor John Cunningham, other senior academics in the THz team at Leeds, and the wider UK leadership team of the Network, the Project Manager will facilitate and support all activities undertaken by the new Network. The role will include day-to-day project management, and organisation of the Network project’s Core Team, Advisory Group and Network member meetings, including organisation of a large number of workshops and conferences, as well as financial monitoring, and preparation of management reports.

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
