RIS is a central function, supporting, enabling, and promoting all aspects of research, impact, economic development, commercialisation and innovation across our academic community and external stakeholders. Working in partnership we deliver the University and Schools' strategic priorities creating an inclusive research culture where everyone can thrive, excel, and contribute to grow our excellence in research, innovation, and impact regionally, nationally, and globally.

- Develop proposals and business cases to secure major international institutional investments for research, priming and growing the University of Dundee research capacity.
- A professional qualified to degree level, or equivalent, preferably in the area of Science / Engineering / Medicine.
- A strategic and creative thinker with proven experience in identifying and driving new opportunities.
- Experience within the Higher Education sector, funding body or demonstrable relevant experience in a research funding environment.
- Proven track-record of successfully initiating and supporting the development of strategic collaborations to secure large competitive funding.
- Thorough knowledge and understanding of the UK and International research and innovation funding environment.
- Proven experience of developing and negotiating partnerships with internal and external stakeholders.
