The Context - Why We Need You

'Reimagining Pathways into Environmental Science through Showcasing Technical Careers' is a 29- month project at Durham University funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The project aims to empower young people from socially disadvantaged backgrounds into a technical career in environmental science. Part of the NERC 'Opening up the Environment 2026' work programme, the project seeks to lead and influence opportunities to enable a technical career. It collaborates with environmental science partners to develop opportunities for young people to consider a career in environmental science. It will evaluate and embed learnings from the project that will influence T Level policy and curriculum development. The project has workstreams around the promotion of technical careers, T Level placements, and policy and partnerships between regional Further Education colleges and environmental science industrial partners.

The Role and the Department

The RPM will manage the day-to-day administration of the project including project timeline, key deliverables, financial management (in liaison with the RIS post-award team) and meeting administration. The RPM will support the workstream leads in the organisation of key elements within each workstream, including collaborating with key internal and external stakeholders (including FE Colleges and students) to organise and establish T Level placement opportunities and meeting liaison with industry partners and collaborators. The RPM will lead on event organisation and marketing, and the communications and engagement plan. The PM will work alongside the project team to ensure the smooth running of the project and that risks are mitigated and managed. The RPM will also be involved in the project reporting phase enabling the dissemination of outputs, as well as the final close of the project.

We believe this role presents an excellent opportunity for candidates who would like to develop a career in research and innovation culture and project management. We welcome applications from individuals with strong transferable skills and experience from different careers and sectors, potentially in organisational change, research culture, further education development or project management. You may have worked in research administration for a number of years and be looking for another opportunity. You may have recently finished a PhD or postdoctoral role and wish to explore career paths beyond academia. You may work outside of HE but have experience of project management that has included working with a diverse team and internal and external stakeholders. We welcome applications from individuals who feel they meet the essential criteria below, regardless of background or experience.

Working arrangements:

This role is full time (35 hours/week) but we will consider requests for flexible working arrangements including potential job shares. It is expected that this role will be predominantly face-to-face on campus, and the successful applicant will be prepared to locate to the northeast of England. There will be some scope for hybrid working arrangements in agreement with line manager, but this post will not be fully hybrid.

Oxford Brookes University is seeking to appoint its first Provost and Deputy Vice-Chancellor.

Oxford Brookes is a distinctive university: ambitious, applied, inclusive and deeply connected to its students, staff, partners and region. It combines academic strength with a strong professional and practical orientation and has a proud history of widening opportunity, supporting student success and contributing to the economic, social and cultural life of Oxfordshire and beyond.

The University is now entering an important new phase. Following the appointment of a new Vice-Chancellor in 2025, Brookes has spent the last year developing Roadmap 2030, building on the vision, mission and guiding principles of Strategy 2035. The Roadmap recognises both the distinctive strengths and opportunities at Brookes and the challenges facing the wider sector. The appointment of a Provost and Deputy Vice-Chancellor is central to the next stage of that work: helping the University move from roadmap to delivery, strengthening academic leadership and ensuring that ambition is translated into clear priorities, decisions and momentum.

The Provost and Deputy Vice-Chancellor will provide senior academic leadership across the University. They will work closely with academic and professional services colleagues, lead major academic priorities, support portfolio and planning work, provide oversight of academic performance and assurance and deputise for the Vice-Chancellor internally and externally. This is a new role and one that will develop as Brookes develops, offering the successful candidate the opportunity to help define the role of Provost at the University.

We are looking for a senior academic leader with credibility, sound judgement and a clear understanding of how to turn ambition into delivery in a university context. You may bring experience from a broad institutional role, a major thematic portfolio or significant academic unit leadership. What matters is your ability to work through complexity, build confidence, make progress and bring people with you.

You will be pragmatic, collaborative and delivery-focused, with the ability to work effectively across academic and professional services. You will understand the financial, regulatory and cultural realities of higher education and bring the judgement and resilience needed to lead in a challenging but opportunity-rich environment.

For the right person, this is a rare opportunity: to join Oxford Brookes at an important moment, help shape a first of its kind role and play a central part in the University’s future academic leadership.

To view the candidate pack please visit www.andersonquigley.com/candidates using AQ3690.

The closing date for applications is noon, Friday 21 August 2026

At Oxford Brookes, inclusivity is one of our five guiding principles: we take positive steps to create an environment in which we celebrate, value and provide equal opportunity to all. We are committed to recruiting from the widest possible pool and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates who embrace our values, regardless of their background.
