About the Role

As an Associate at the Venture Science Doctorate (VSD), you will play a pivotal role in the delivery and development of the world’s first venture creation-focused PhD programme.

You will join a dedicated founding team comprising Dominic Falcao, Aaron Appleton, Claire Thorne and Thane Campbell, along with the wider DSV team of specialists in science commercialisation. This role offers the unique opportunity to contribute to the programme's growth, support emerging science companies, and engage with a vast network of partners and funders.

The role is part-time for a one-day-a-week contract with a possibility to transition into a full-time role.

  • Session Coordination: Outreach, scheduling, and preparation of live session co-facilitators and visiting guest experts, attend all live sessions for attendance tracking, administrative management, and quality assurance;
  • Documentation and Accreditation: Ensure thorough documentation of student work and activities for accreditation purposes, maintaining meticulous records;
  • Event Planning & Management: Organise and execute in-person learning experiences (intensives/conferences), managing all logistical aspects to provide enriching and frictionless experiences for participants.
Who should apply

Experience:

  • Proven experience in programme/events management, preferably within an educational or research setting;
  • Demonstrated ability in building and maintaining educational content in learning management systems, particularly Canvas;
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a knack for building relationships with diverse stakeholders, including accreditors, students, and partners;
  • Strong organisational and administrative skills, with a keen attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently;

  • You are ambitious and have a strong desire to play an important role in reinventing the PhD, taking ownership of both challenges and opportunities;
  • You are deeply motivated by our mission and have passion for / depth of understanding of science entrepreneurship.

If you feel like you'd love this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with the above, we encourage you to apply anyway - your ability to learn on the job is more important than ticking every single box

Benefits:
  • Competitive salary;
  • The chance to co-found a global doctoral programme and work with us to scale this to thousands of candidates;
  • Space to develop deep expertise in the key developmental areas for science entrepreneurship, such as resilience; empathy, persuasion and creativity;
