Two juicy, senior public engagement roles up for grabs at Research Ireland 👀 👇 . The Head of PER is a strategic leadership role responsible for shaping and driving the organisation’s vision for challenge research, public engagement with research, and researchers’ engagement with wider society. Research Ireland was only established earlier this year and is in the process of developing its first strategy so the timing couldn't be better. Please take a look if you want to make an impact. I've loved working with this team on their grant funding and other programmes over several years.

📢 New job claxon!! 🚨 Great opportunity to provide thought leadership, advocacy, and internal and external visibility to the Medical Research Council’s programme of activity around public partnerships. Well worth a look, particularly for those with experience of patient and public involvement with non-clinical research.

If I take nothing else away from 2024 it will be this. I started the podcast to try and change the way research-adjacent roles are seen and valued. Progress might not be fast but I do think it's happening! Listen to my full review of 2024 in your favourite podcast app. Just search for 'Research Adjacent'.

We are recruiting! This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who is keen to help researchers develop impact from their research. This leadership position will also manage a team, which we are currently expanding. It’s an exciting time to join R&IS at Warwick as we grow our team.
