Interviews are expected to take place on Tuesday 02 July 2024.

**The Post**
Everywhere in the world people organize in relation to water. Its resources and assets provide essential 'goods' and 'services' and huge opportunities for the economy, society and communities. Harnessing these productively is a key route to optimising growth, value and community outcomes, as well as meeting important environmental goals.

This post is part of a £5m Local Policy Innovation Partnership project funded by UKRI (UK Research and Innovation) over 3 years to explore these issues in the Forth Water Basin in Scotland. The Partnership, called ‘FORTH2O’, involves six Universities and Institutes, as well as over eighty stakeholder partners (including Scottish Government, Scottish Water and SEPA). This is a hugely exciting opportunity to make a real difference for the health and wealth of our businesses, communities, and natural ecosystems. Through a range of innovative core projects; challenge, innovation and living ‘labs’; and a commissioning fund of £1.2m to support new activity, the partnership will play a vital role in ‘optimising outcomes’ from the water system.***

The Research Partnership Officer will play a key role in the Partnership, taking the lead in building, developing and delivering effective strategies for information sharing, co-ordination and collaboration between Partnership members. The post will involve building strong relationships with internal and external networks. This will mean supporting appropriate projects and working groups to ensure that agreed actions linked to innovation opportunities are implemented. It also means curating and managing internal partnership communications, and preparing and implementing effective external stakeholder engagement and communications plans (including web, video and social media content, blogs, podcasts, and so on as required). The post will also coordinate knowledge transfer activity across the project, preparing briefing papers, reports, and other information on issues relating to LPIP/FORTH2O, including development and management of training and capacity building plans, events and activities. This may lead to proposals for further funding, or to consultancy, CPD or spin-out opportunities.

**Additional Information**:
This role will be based primarily on campus at the University of Stirling, but will involve agile working within the University framework, including working away from the office as required to engage effectively with partners and stakeholders.
