About the role
This is an opportunity for an experienced research Project Manager to work as a part of an innovative interdisciplinary study investigating the influence that aircraft emissions have on the climate, including the potential for soot from aircraft to provide a cooling effect. This project involves coordinates research between researchers at Imperial College London, the University of Leeds, the University of Vienna, and RIKEN in Japan.
What you would be doing
You will be managing the overarching strategic, outreach and administrative support for the research programme, working closely with the investigators from across the programme to enable the implementation of the project’s objectives and manage all administrative processes.
Communication will be absolutely key, not just in your interactions as the key point of contact for the funder and all partners but also in planning and implementing external engagement, publicity materials, social media channels and the project website.
You will also be supporting Dr Seb Eastham across a number of other projects with these same responsibilities. Dr. Eastham is a member of the Brahmal Vasudevan Institute for Sustainable Aviation and leads the Aerospace Environmental Impacts Simulation (AEIS) group, a new research team in the Imperial College London Department of Aeronautics which is seeking to better understand – and address – the effects that aerospace emissions have on the environment. This post therefore offers an exciting opportunity particularly for anyone with an interest in sustainability.
What we are looking for
Please see the job description for the full list of criteria which includes:
Experience of project management including the management of project budgets and project reporting.
Experience of communications and events management.
Ability to work independently as well as in a team environment
Ability to prioritise tasks and organise work effectively to meet deadlines.
What we can offer you
The opportunity to continue your career at a world-leading institution and be part of our mission to use science for humanity.
Benefit from a sector-leading salary and remuneration package (including 41 days’ annual leave and generous pension schemes).
Access to a range of workplace benefits including a flexible working policy from day one, generous family leave packages, on-site leisure facilities and cycle-to-work scheme.
Interest-free season ticket loan schemes for travel.
Be part of a diverse, inclusive and collaborative work culture with various staff networks and resources to support your personal and professional wellbeing.
Further information
This is a full-time post. This role is for a fixed-term contract until 2 June 2028.
