Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom Nottingham Trent University Full time
Head of UK Industry Research Funding

Salary £65,229 - £72,828 per annum

Full-time, Permanent

We are seeking an entrepreneurial individual with significant expertise in UK industry/research funding to join the Research Development team at Nottingham Trent University.

The successful candidate will have the skills to develop relationships across our research community, with academic and non-academic collaborators, and with key funders, particularly Innovate UK and UK Government.

The role holder will be genuinely interested in research, understand the value and challenges of multidisciplinary approaches, and the importance of delivering impact beyond academia.

They will be someone who quickly assimilates new information and intelligence, proactively makes linkages between different people, projects, and opportunities, and has the tenacity and organisational skills to work with our researchers and their collaborators to develop clear, detailed, and coherent project proposals.

The majority of the role holder's time will be focused on Innovate UK funding streams, as well as other UK funders of industrially focused research, but there will also be opportunities to work with colleagues and collaborators to develop large, strategic bids with other funders, for example, CDTs, Research England E3, or UKRI Centres.

Developing highly functional relationships across Schools and Professional Service Departments is an integral part of how we work, and we strive to provide a high-quality service to our academic community.

We operate on a hybrid basis, with colleagues combining working across our campuses and from home.

There is a focus on colleagues spending some time every week co-located with other team members, because we know the value of building relationships, sharing intelligence and ideas, and feeling part of something real.

We are building on three key principles: Confidence in NTU as a research-informed institution; Credibility to undertake research of the highest quality; Collaboration to deliver research that changes lives.

We have recently refreshed our Strategic Research Themes (Health Innovation; Digital, Technology, and Creative) which encompass all our Schools and will be dynamic and bustling with activity.

Hybrid working - we encourage and offer a mixture of office working and working from home.

35 days annual leave, plus statutory bank holidays and 5 university closure days pro rata.

Salary Sacrifice Retirement Savings Plan with life assurance and income protection. Available to colleagues who choose to opt out of the contractual pension scheme.

Range of health and wellbeing services, voluntary benefits, discounts, and savings for all colleagues.

Access to a wealth of formal and informal professional development opportunities to develop your skills and advance your career.

Safe and Inclusive

At NTU, we continue to build an inclusive culture that encourages, supports, and celebrates the diverse voices and experiences of our students and colleagues.

We welcome the unique contributions that you can bring and we encourage people from underrepresented communities and backgrounds to apply to join our team.
