Medical Research Foundation
A prestigious opportunity has arisen for a seasoned research leader to spearhead our department as Director of Research.
About the Role
This is an exciting time to join MEDICAL RESEARCH FOUNDATION-1. We recently launched our new five-year organisational strategy, Giving hope through life-changing medical research, and you will be crucial in helping us to deliver on this and achieve our vision of a world where medical research improves health for everyone.
While the last century has brought huge improvements in the quality and longevity of life, there are still many health conditions which impose a heavy burden on millions of people, in the UK and around the world. And in many areas of health there is a severe lack of research funding, which is holding back the scientific progress needed to change lives.
We give hope to people whose health conditions are overlooked, by supporting research in areas that are underfunded. We invest in the brightest and best researchers, ensuring the next generation of scientists can continue to solve the biggest challenges facing human health.
Key Responsibilities
- Horizon scanning and landscape reviews to ensure the continued relevance of our research strategy
- Research funding competitions to deliver at least £5m new research per annum
- Ongoing grant management of a £30m grant portfolio
- Reviewing and creating funding schemes to address unmet need
- Our framework for impact evaluation
- Wider development of the charity through membership of our Executive Leadership Team
About You
We are looking for candidates with significant experience working in a biomedical sciences research/funding environment, including research funding competitions, peer review, and grant management.
What We Offer
As Director of Research, you will enjoy:
- A competitive salary of up to £70,000 per annum
- 30 days of annual leave per year plus bank holidays
- 10% employer contribution
- Life insurance at four times salary
- Enhanced family-related leave and sickness leave
- Learning and development programmes and external training opportunities
- Generous additional benefits including regular team lunches, annual health assessments and optional social programme
- The opportunity to join a dedicated team making a difference to human health
We value spending time working in-person to develop strong connections with each other and with our mission, and you will be based at our bright, plant-filled central London office for a minimum of three days a week, with the option to work remotely for the remainder.
