Co(l)laborative and Inclusive.
Doing things differently.
Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is one of the UK’s most effective universities, with a clear sense of what we want to achieve and the wherewithal to deliver it. Inclusive in engaging with local communities and organisations to identify the topics to be explored. Inclusive in diversifying the backgrounds of colleagues who lead the exploration. Inclusive in the way in which the findings are shared with our partners.
Of course, research inclusivity has to be pursued in combination with research quality. In the latest Research Excellence Framework 2021, 83% of NTU’s research outputs and 86% of our research impact were assessed to be either world-leading or internationally excellent. In 2021, the University received the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education in recognition of our outstanding research into the science of cultural heritage.

Skilled in developing and delivering training in research ethics and integrity, research methods, research impact, research design for audiences across many levels you'll have a wide range of knowledge and experiences. Qualified to doctoral level you'll have an excellent understanding of the national and international research policy context.
As a key member of the Co(l)laboratory Delivery Executive team you'll be expected to collaborate with colleagues in academic schools and research centres across both universities, with key Universities for Nottingham partners and with the National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement.
