Crynodeb
The Chief Scientific Adviser (CSA) is responsible for leading the Department for Transport’s (DfT) science, innovation and technology agenda. A key priority will be the implementation and ongoing development of the DfT Science, Innovation and Technology (SIT) Plan, due for publication in mid-2025. The CSA will own the Plan, report annually on its progress to the DfT Executive Committee and Board, and use it as a strategic tool to prioritise internal delivery and external engagement.
As a senior leader, the CSA sits on DfT’s Executive Committee and Strategy Committee and plays a central role in shaping departmental strategy. The CSA will work closely with Ministers, Directors General, the Chief Analyst, heads of analytical professions, and policy and delivery leaders to ensure that robust, joined-up scientific advice underpins decision-making across the department.
The CSA is also a key figure in the cross-government science system, working under the leadership of the Government Chief Scientific Adviser (GCSA), Professor Dame Angela McLean. They will contribute to the CSA network, attend weekly cross-government meetings, and represent DfT in forums such as the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), when convened.
As Head of Profession for Science and Engineering in DfT, the CSA is responsible for building capability across the department. This includes championing professional development, ensuring access to training and networks, and raising the profile of science and engineering across DfT.
Externally, the CSA will act as a bridge between government, academia, and industry. They will build and maintain a network of leading experts and institutions, ensuring DfT benefits from cutting-edge research and innovation.
