About the Role
We are looking for an entrepreneurial Head of EU Research Funding, with significant expertise in EU funding to join the Research Development team at NTU. Our aspiration is to grow our funding portfolio across all our disciplines, and across a range of funders; further developing our engagement and success with all three Horizon Europe Pillars is an integral part of that process.
While the ability to navigate the operational side of EU funding is an important part of this role, the successful candidate will also be someone with the skills to develop relationships across our academic community, and with prospective partners, both academic and non-academic. They will be someone who is genuinely interested in research, understands the value and challenges of multidisciplinary approaches, and the importance of delivering impact beyond academia. The successful candidate will be someone who quickly assimilates new information and intelligence, makes intelligent 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, coherent project proposals. We anticipate that the majority of the role holder's time will be focused on Horizon Europe fundings streams, but where there are cross-overs with other related funding streams, 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.
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; Safety and Sustainability; Digital, Technology and Creative) which encompass all our Schools and will be dynamic and bustling with activity. They will be the vehicles through which we tell our narrative.
Closing Date: 13th October 2024
Interview date: 30th or 31st October
