Our mission is to unlock the power of data to improve lives.
Smart data is made whenever we engage with the digital world. When we buy something, ‘like’ something, or get directions. If used for scientific research smart data can change our world. It can help us to understand important social challenges – from disease prevention to climate change.
Smart Data Research UK (SDR UK) is the UK’s national programme for smart data research. We’re investing £59.3m in an ambitious programme to provide researchers with safe and trustworthy access to smart data. We’ll safeguard public trust in how data are used, build capability for cutting-edge data-driven research, and support research that addresses important social and economic challenges.
About the role
The Head of Research Partnerships and Impact is a key leadership role based in the SDR UK Strategic Hub. The post holder will be responsible for driving uptake and impact of smart data across our four research themes: productivity and prosperity for all; sustainability; health and well-being; and digital society. The role will also be responsible for leading development of our policy function, including legal and ethical resources to support researchers, data services, and data owners.
Key responsibilities include:
