About the Role

Queen Mary’s strategy, history and culture combine to create a uniquely powerful environment for research, innovation and impact. Through our Strategy 2030, we are committed to continually building our capacity for impact, ensuring it creates positive change in our uniquely diverse home community in London’s East End and across the world.

The Impact Team plays an essential role in this, working closely with other knowledge exchange teams to provide joined-up and expert support to enable impact of all types from across the university. The Team is responsible for:

• Building a culture of research impact across Queen Mary, through training, networking and capacity building.
• Providing specialist support to develop, capture, evidence and evaluate the impact of Queen Mary’s research.
• Managing systems and processes for analysis and capture of impact activity and evidence.
• Administering the Queen Mary Impact Fund, including our Impact Acceleration Account allocations.
• Supporting preparations for the Research Excellence Framework (REF), by maximising the quality of impact related materials within Queen Mary’s submission.

About You

This role is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in supporting research impact and/or knowledge exchange. The postholder will have a demonstrable interest in the range of ways research from the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry can lead to research impact, ideally with experience of working in a similar role or area previously. The successful candidate will join a vibrant and supportive team and a role which offers a host of opportunities for career development.

About the Department

The Impact Team is part of the Research Services Directorate. The post is primarily based at Queen Mary Dept W near Whitechapel and will also involve meetings on the Mile End campus and travel to occasional external meetings. The team works in a hybrid format, with a minimum of two days per week on campus.

We offer competitive salaries, access to a generous pension scheme, 30 days’ leave per annum (pro-rata for part-time/fixed-term), a season ticket loan scheme and access to a comprehensive range of personal and professional development opportunities. In addition, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and campus facilities including an on-site nursery at the Mile End campus.
