Job description
An exciting opportunity has arisen at the University of Sussex for a high-performing professional to become Senior Programme Manager of a Centre of Excellence – the Sussex Sustainability Research Programme (SSRP). The SSRP is the University’s interdisciplinary strategic research programme in the high-profile area of sustainability research. As a newly designated Centre of Excellence, the SSRP is just embarking upon a new phase in which it aims to substantially expand its programme and influence on critical sustainability issues both nationally and internationally.
The post is full time, fixed term until 31 July 2025 but with the likelihood of extension for the right candidate.
This exciting and challenging role sits within the University of Sussex Business School and is line-managed by the School’s Senior Research Manager while reporting substantively to the Programme’s Director and scientist, Professor Joseph Alcamo. The post holder will be responsible for overall management of the Programme, including day-to-day operations, reporting, communications, supporting stakeholder engagement, and overseeing the Programme’s funded research projects. The SSRP Manager will work collaboratively with the Director and Programme Management Group (PMG) to develop and realise the strategic vision of the Programme, and in so doing support the University’s ambition to create a world-leading centre of research excellence providing science to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
