We are seeking an experienced, dynamic full-time Project Manager for MARS, a new £15M investment in applied mathematics and AI for real-world applications within the School of Mathematics at Lancaster University.

“MARS: Mathematics for AI in Real-world Systems” is an exciting new £15M investment at Lancaster University, expanding on our excellence in spatial epidemiological and environmental modelling. Bringing in 10 new academic posts, with associated research staff and students, MARS will revolutionise Lancaster’s research capacity in mathematics connecting systems modeling and AI methods, to support its flagship strategies in the applied sciences of Manufacturing, Environmental Science, Health, and Cybersecurity. This will be alongside new undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, providing student opportunities to address a major skills-gap in the principles underlying AI and their application to real-world systems. These activities will allow us to reach out to industry and government partners as a regional, national, and global leader in next-generation mathematics. With E3 funding, MARS will become a unique national capability in the North West, pushing the boundaries of AI-driven modelling to tackle key challenges in the modern world. 

As the senior professional services role within MARS, you will be responsible for coordinating the initial delivery and ongoing management of the new unit, in collaboration with senior academic staff and existing professional services staff at Lancaster. We need a dynamic, enthusiastic individual with previous experience of project management to ensure the smooth running of MARS. Previous experience must include:

working in an academic context, including HR activities; engaging with academic and non-academic stakeholders;  organising meetings and events, including Annual Scientific Meetings, Industry Weeks, and public engagements; running promotional media campaigns including web presence and social media.

You will take a pro-active ownership of these roles, and have the autonomy to ensure a high quality of service to the programme’s leadership team. A high level of organisational skill is required, with an ability to contribute to a strategic vision in collaboration with academic colleagues. You will demonstrate an enthusiastic attitude towards developing promotional material for the unit, helping us to attract new talent to Lancaster in terms of staff, students, and welcome new collaborations with industry and government bodies in the North West, and at national and global scales.

We welcome applications from all diversity groups. The School provides an environment aiming to meet the individual needs of each staff member. All new members are provided with mentoring and support from a carefully selected group of colleagues, with a lead individual taking responsibility for personal development. We are committed to family-friendly and flexible working policies, and seek to promote a healthy work-life balance. The University is a charter member of Athena Swan and has held a Bronze award since 2008, in recognition of good employment practice to address gender equality in higher education and research. The School achieved its own Athena Swan Bronze award in 2017 and is a registered supporter of the London Mathematical Society’s Good Practice Scheme. We will consider applications to work on a part-time, flexible and job-share basis wherever possible and habitually agree to flexible modes of working. 

 The post is for indefinite employment at Lancaster, and is not limited to the first 5 years of MARS funding by Research England.

Potential applicants are encouraged to contact the Head of MARS, Professor Chris Jewell or the School Director of Research, Professor Rebecca Killick for informal enquiries.
