**Job summary**:
The Government Behavioural Science Capability Strategy and Delivery Lead will work across organisational and professional boundaries to develop and deliver an effective and innovative strategy to grow behavioural research capability across the whole of government. The postholder will be recruited for 5 years/60 months to the University of Birmingham as part of a £17.5m Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) investment in UK behavioural research, and will be seconded into Cabinet Office for a minimum of three years of this period, with option to extend the secondment within the overall term of the appointment. Full details of the position, including information on how to apply, can be found here.
The ESRC investment funding these roles aims to build world-leading capability in interdisciplinary behavioural research. The programme will harness, connect, and extend the UK’s existing capacity and capability to research fundamental questions about human behaviour. It will also develop the next generation of behavioural researchers to work outside of academia. This will help the UK to address major societal challenges, by enabling decision making based on evidence. The ESRC had made two investments, and each fellowship is attached to one of the investments. Behavioural Research UK (BR-UK) will connect and convene stakeholders from across different sectors. Its leadership team will develop a ‘hub’ that covers the whole of the UK with academic, policy and industry representatives across the four nations. The Centre for Doctoral Training and Research Excellence in Understanding Behaviour (CENTRE-UB) will develop the next generation of PhD graduates and early career researchers, and provide relevant training to researchers working in government and other sectors.
These investments will complement and build on existing expertise, resources and research by building capacity and expanding the range of disciplines and expertise that can contribute to understanding of human behaviour.
Each of the new roles will entail working across government, and with the two academic research consortiums and ESRC.
**Job description**:
Main duties
- Map capability user needs in government using systematic research methods and, working with CENTRE-UB, develop the training offer for government.
- Work with the GSCU and CENTRE-UB to identify and develop the curriculum offering for government grounded in behavioural research content and skills.
- Plan, design and develop training programmes (that may range from masterclasses to more formal and/or accredited courses) to meet the needs of civil servants, and evaluate their implementation and effectiveness using appropriate methods.
- Engage stakeholders and build understanding of the training offer and of behaviour research capability through effective communication e.g., prepare presentations, reports, and papers for dissemination within government and across the wider social science community (e.g., industry, academia); build, maintain, engage and manage relevant stakeholder networks.
- Be a proactive and engaged member of the GSCU Curriculum Team and wider GSCU, and the CENTRE-UB team, contributing to collective leadership and management, and supporting effective delivery - including spotting areas where behaviour research knowledge or evidence could enhance delivery for users. This includes working with government partners to set up fellowship placements, joint PhD studentships, and PhD placements.
- Contribute to the sustainability of CENTRE-UB as a national resource for training in behavioural research by leading on the development of a long-term strategy for maintaining provision of behavioural research training for civil servants in collaboration with the CENTRE-UB/GSCU team.
- Contribute to the sustainability of the new behavioural research curriculum offer within Government, leading on developing a strategy and frameworks for maintaining and continuously improving provision.
