Faculty of Engineering
Managing a small portfolio of textile-based, sustainable products which aims to replace single-use plastic within the Scottish healthcare system, and other markets. Working with a small team of experts, you will identify and pursue optimal pathways into market for these products.
FTE: 0.4 (14 hours/week)
Term: Fixed Term (Until 31.03.28)
Following a successful first phase of Design HOPES, a major design-led research project, we have attracted additional funding to move from research into reality for our portfolio of textile-based products.
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and motivated individual to work closely with colleagues across the project ecosystem to develop pathways to impact for a range of sustainable products and services.
You will have background in materials/textiles and a proven track record of commercialisation and/or business development.
You will have a consistently high level of personal responsibility and initiative, excellent and persuasive communications skills and be able to work comfortably with a wide range of colleagues from different backgrounds.
Previous experience with University IP, or with NHS procurement practices, would be beneficial, as would an understanding of sustainability and the net zero policy landscape.
Design HOPES is a collaborative design-led research initiative, comprising five Scottish Universities (University of Strathclyde, University of Dundee, Heriot-Watt University, Abertay University, and the University of Edinburgh), NHS Scotland, the third sector, and design organisations.
This project is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) as part of the Future Observatory GTE Hub Programme at the Design Museum [grant number AH/Y00373X/1].
This role may be suitable for secondments.
For any informal enquiries, please contact Professor of Design, Professor Paul Rodgers (paul.rodgers@strath.ac.uk).
