Applications are sought from outstanding academics with an Engineering and/or Business School background to be appointed as the inaugural Co-Directors for the newly established Centre for Sectoral Economic Performance (CSEP). One Co-Director will be appointed with the Dyson School of Design Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering, while the other Co-Director will be appointed within the Imperial College Business School. As well as holding Co-Director roles, you will hold open-ended Chair positions within the relevant departments. You must have a world-leading track record of accomplishment in translating rigorous research into strategies and policies that address both firm-level and national competitiveness, as well as influencing governmental policy.

- Become the go-to place for searching and advising on the readiness of UK industry to anticipate and accommodate forms of market and technological disruption.
In your role as the Co-Directors, you will have overall responsibility for delivering the Centre’s goals and objectives. You will also be responsible for the overall running of the Centre, its strategic development, guiding the development of new themes and projects, engaging in research translation activities, and monitoring Centre activities to ensure compliance with its governance processes.
You will have the opportunity to build and shape this new brand-new international centre that will located in the heart of central London, liaise and work with colleagues across academia, industry and government in the UK, as well as direct recruitment of new staff to the Centre, including our new inaugural David Sainsbury Fellows (Post-doctoral researchers) and David Sainsbury Scholars (Ph.D. students).
**To succeed in this role, you will need**:
