We are seeking applications for a Programme Manager for the Co-Centre for Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems based at the University of Sheffield.
The Co-Centre for Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems is an exciting new venture funded by the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), UKRI (UK Research and Innovation) and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA), managed jointly by Queen’s University Belfast (QUB), University College Dublin (UCD) and the University of Sheffield (UoS). The vision of the Co-Centre is to develop innovative and transformative solutions to transition our food system and position the UK and Ireland as global leaders in research and innovation for positive and sustainable change in the transition to climate-neutrality by 2050.
As the GB Programme Manager, you will ensure clear alignment between the SFI/DAERA funded work and the UKRI Spoke activities and ensure optimal linkages of UKRI funded work across Platforms, demonstrators and Spokes. You will work closely with the Research Funding Manager (based at University College Dublin) to identify further funding opportunities and co-ordinate national and international research funding bids. A particular focus will be in supporting the preparation of Horizon Europe proposals, Wellcome Trust proposals, and other funding calls.
This post is based within the Psychology Department working as part of the Institute of Sustainable Food. The Institute for Sustainable Food works closely with partners in business, government and civil society to find dynamic solutions to the challenges of food security and sustainability.
