Cambridge Centre for Research Project Manager, Health and Medical Sciences
The Alan Turing Institute
The Alan Turing Institute has ten Programmes of scientific research in key areas of AI and data science, each led by a Programme Director. There are also a small number of significant programmes of activity which sit across several research Programmes.
This role sits within the Institute’s Programme Management directorate, which is responsible for the management and delivery of these programmes in support of the senior academic Programme Directors and Principal Investigators. The team oversees millions of pounds of data science and AI research, training and knowledge exchange programme initiatives, ensuring they are managed to business requirements, specification, time and budget.
There are a number of Programme and Research Project Managers within the team, usually focussed on one research Programme or programme of activity, but who may provide programme and project management capabilities and support to other projects or activities from time to time as required. Programme managers and Research project managers are not permanently attached to programmes and may be moved to other research programmes in-line with business needs, and may have the opportunity to support other programmes, both ad-hoc or more formally. The postholder will be recruited initially into the role of Research Project Manager within the Health and Medical Sciences Programme.
HEALTH AND MEDICAL SCIENCES PROGRAMME
The Health and Medical Sciences programme, under the Scientific Leadership of Director Professor Chris Holmes and Deputy Director Professor Ben Macarthur, is a major programme of research into the theory and methods of AI, statistics, and data analytics underpinning medical and health applications that will enable scientists to do better science, without compromising respect for privacy and patient trust. Using data-driven innovation in AI and statistical science, the programme aims to accelerate the scientific understanding of human disease and improve human health.
The programme has a large number of partnerships, working across the NHS and government, charities and foundations, and industry. Due to an exciting period of growth, the programme is recruiting two fixed-term Research Project Managers to support the Director and programme research community in delivering collaborative research partnerships and creating impact. The successful candidate will join a delivery team of two existing Research Project Managers and the Senior Programme Manager.
