Alagappa University

About us King’s College London is home to world-class research, supported by an extensive network of laboratories across our campuses. These labs are vital for discovery but are also highly resource-intensive, consuming far more energy and water than other spaces, generating significant waste, and relying heavily on single-use materials. In 2025, King’s became a signatory of the Concordat for the Environmental Sustainability of Research and Innovation Practice, confirming our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of research and aligning with sector-wide goals. Major funders share this commitment and now require funded labs to meet minimum sustainability standards. We’re proud to say King’s was one of the first universities to meet this target, achieving 100% adoption of LEAF accreditation last year. To remain competitive in research, we must go beyond the minimum and strive for excellence in Sustainable Research. Our Climate & Sustainability Strategy sets ambitious targets and as part of this commitment, we’re implementing practical, evidence-based approaches that reduce environmental impact while enabling outstanding science.  About the role We’re looking for a Sustainable Research Coordinator to help embed sustainability at the heart of research at King’s College London. In this role, you’ll lead initiatives that reduce environmental impact without compromising scientific excellence. You’ll drive accreditation through frameworks such as LEAF, Green Disc, and My Green Lab, and champion a culture of environmentally responsible research across King’s. Reporting to the Sustainability Innovation Lead (Research), you’ll work closely with academics, researchers, and technical teams to influence everyday behaviours, deliver training, and share our strategy at events and departmental talks. You’ll also manage projects, analyse data to identify opportunities, and showcase successes through compelling case studies and presentations. This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of sustainable research at King’s, with a real chance to make a lasting impact both within the university and in collaboration with external partners. It’s a hands-on role shaping the future of sustainable research and helping King’s tackle global challenges while enabling outstanding science Hybrid Working:  This role offers a flexible working arrangement, blending remote and on-campus work. To effectively engage with research operations, the post-holder may spend up to four days a week on-site, gaining invaluable insight into King’s laboratory environments and day-to-day activities. ​ This is a permanent, full-time (35 Hours per week) position (35 Hours per week).
