You will join our Development Services team, working closely with colleagues across the University and external partners. The team supports the development and delivery of activity across external funding and income development, research impact and external engagement, external collaboration, and strategic planning, including the Research Excellence Framework (REF) and Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF).
