A key aspect of the role will be taking responsibility for the timely drafting of academic papers, as well as interim and final project reports, ensuring that research outputs are communicated clearly and effectively. The successful candidate will also lead on the presentation of research findings to a range of audiences, including research funders, academics, and policy makers, through seminars, national and international conferences, and other dissemination activities. In addition, the role requires active contribution to the development of new research proposals aimed at attracting external funding in collaboration with colleagues and selected external partners.
The Research Fellow will actively participate in the day-to-day activities of the BDTI Lab, contributing to the effective management and delivery of research projects while ensuring that tasks are appropriately prioritised within agreed work schedules.
