The University of Manchester, Faculty of Science and Engineering, is seeking to appoint five individuals with a track record in supporting research projects, particularly those leading to impact, and experience in supporting the development, preparation, and submission of research proposals, to take up the roles of Research Development Officers (Funding and Impact).

The roles will involve flexibility between the focus areas of Research Impact and Research Funding. The post-holders will be expected to support the Faculty in strategically developing its research income as follows:

The successful candidate should have demonstrable experience in supporting research development, preparation/submission of research proposals (particularly aspects related to developing the proposal itself) and/or research impact, ability to work with a wide range of academic colleagues, and excellent analytical and communication skills.

This role will be based within the Research Development and Innovation team in the Faculty of Science and Engineering. The team consists of the Faculty's Business Engagement, Research Strategy, Research Impact, and Internationalisation functions.

Benefits:

  • Market-leading pension scheme
  • Excellent employee health and wellbeing services, including an Employee Assistance Programme
  • Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays
  • Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
  • Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers
