Do you have experience of working in research and knowledge exchange development and support within a university? Are you looking for a flexible position with the option of remote working (with on-site working when required)?

Northeastern University London (NU London) is seeking a Senior Research and Knowledge Exchange Manager to play a central role in the University’s growing research enterprise. Working closely with the Director of Research and Knowledge Exchange Services, the postholder will lead on research and knowledge exchange funding development, guiding academics through all aspects of proposal development from initial concept through to submission.

The ideal candidate will have a strong track record in pre-award research development within a UK university, with the expertise to advise on every dimension of a research proposal. They will be comfortable working across the full research lifecycle and will act as the primary point of contact for research and knowledge exchange matters when the Director is unavailable.
