Research Collaboration Manager
Do you have experience of partnership working in the health and care sector, and/ or the academic sector? Are you excited by the idea of collaborating with diverse partners to solve some of Leeds’ hardest challenges in health and care? This is a unique and rewarding opportunity to bring the city’s internationally-renowned research activity together with local needs, transforming health and care for people in Leeds and beyond.
Leeds Academic Health Partnership, one of the largest of its kind in the UK, represents the major, leading organisations and activities that comprise Health Innovation Leeds and is hosted by the University of Leeds.

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Research Collaboration Manager who will be responsible for working with our partners to shape and plan strategic research collaborations in health and social care, focusing on understanding and responding to evidence of local needs.

You will need to understand the current and future health and social care challenges our system is facing so that you can help to align strategic research collaborations with priorities across Leeds, the region and nationally. You will also use knowledge of Leeds' research strengths to horizon scan for funding opportunities, helping match population needs and city strengths to strategic research opportunities. In this role you’ll be expected to build evaluation into your approaches and use appropriate impact and outcome measures. We work across a range of partners and priorities and are looking for someone with a track record of managing multiple concurrent activities to different timescales.
