As Senior Research Development Manager, you will work closely with academic colleagues in a portfolio of Schools within the Faculty to raise awareness of and develop opportunities for research and research-led knowledge exchange and impact. You will work proactively to manage and generate engagement in addition to coordinating and managing the submission of large-scale research and knowledge exchange proposals which will involve engaging with stakeholders both within and outside of the University. Building relationships with research and non-research colleagues will be crucial to success in this role. Working as part of a team, you will develop expertise and leadership across a portfolio of different research funders and policy areas to support expertise across the faculty.
You will be self-motivated, with excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and will have experience and knowledge of UKRI and other research and knowledge exchange funding schemes and experience of bid writing, bringing teams together, and managing multiple complex projects.

Please indicate your preference on your application. Arrangements for job share will be considered. The University of Nottingham supports hybrid working with arrangements agreed locally.

We combine excellence and innovation in teaching and wide ranging and impactful research.

Our success is delivered by our people. We believe that a diverse and supportive environment, bringing different perspectives to our work and allowing people to thrive, is the best platform for cutting-edge research and excellent teaching and operational support.
