Salary: UofG Grade 8, £50,253 - £58,225 per annum
This post is full time and open ended with funding available up until 31st March 2028.
The University of Glasgow is seeking to appoint a talented and highly motivated Senior Programme Manager to join the £7.5m Policy Modelling for Health consortium, funded by UKRI’s Population Health Improvement UK (PHI UK).
This is a senior managerial role with significant scope to influence the strategic and operational direction of an exciting national research initiative which develops computational models to assess how policies under consideration by our policy partners would likely impact economic wellbeing – via impacts on income, wealth, debt, work, and pensions – and in turn, affect health and health equity outcomes.
The post holder will report to the Director, and work closely with the Executive Group to develop and deliver on the programme’s strategic objectives. You will be responsible for the operational, risk and administrative management of the Programme, supported by a Programme Administrator and a Communications Manager.
A key part of the role is to promote and manage excellent working relationships within this highly interdisciplinary, cross-sector consortium and between the consortium, its sister consortia and UKRI. You will also seek to maximise opportunities for impactful engagement with policy makers and the public.
