Role Description

We are looking for an enthusiastic candidate to join our team and assist with the final stages of the Healthcare Technologies Capability Connector that is currently underway.

About the Role

The Healthcare Technologies Capability Connector is an 18-month collaborative project between the University of Herfordshire (lead), Imperial College London and Cranfield University. It aims to boost commercialisation know-how, share best practice around effective research translation and build a diverse talent pipeline of researchers and entrepreneurs to bring new healthcare-related products, services and technologies to market. Working closely with the Project Lead and partner project teams, your role will be to provide operational support to the project, to liaise with academics across Cranfield University to deliver the project workstreams, and to assist with the cross fertilisation of resource (expertise and facilities) between the three universities. You will also work with the Project Lead to capture insights, outputs and impacts from the project.

About You

You will be educated to degree level in a science, engineering or business related subject or have equivalent experience, and have demonstrable experience with research commercialisation or support for technical innovation, as well as proven ability in successful project management and in effective communication with diverse teams.
