The University of Lincoln has a strategic focus on “local to global” research and external engagement, working in partnership with regional enterprises and global partners, and focused around priority research areas with global significance. In alignment with this strategy, the Department of Research and Enterprise provides integrated central support for research and knowledge exchange, including: income generation, coordinating REF and KEF, IP exploitation, business incubation and relationships, and supporting the University’s research and enterprise culture.

You will be a dynamic and energetic leader able to oversee a broad portfolio of activity, and to lead a strong team dealing with complex and rapidly evolving demands. You will be able to engage credibly at Board level with external partners, and with senior leaders internally, to prepare major funding bids, and to contribute to strategy formation and evaluation. The University is extremely dynamic, featuring rapid growth in external income and collaborative activity, and you will need the agility to respond positively to the opportunities and challenges this brings, and to bring your team with you.
