    Contract type: Permanent

    The Wellcome Trust is a global charitable foundation. We improve health for everyone by funding science, leading policy, and advocacy campaigns, and building partnerships.

    We plan to spend £16bn over the next ten years, funding new discoveries in life, health, and wellbeing, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health.

    We are looking for a Research Manager to join our Mental Health Translation team. The team's remit is to identify and fund forward translation projects focussed on the development of novel tools and interventions. This includes working with partners as appropriate to ensure the projects have reach and are sustainable within complex systems including in low resource settings. This may include development of novel interventions but also modification of existing ones to make them more effective and maximise impact, and may range from the cellular to the societal, whilst all the time paying attention to the specific needs of particular contexts. This role will support the team to fund, convene and share learning in-line with the Mental Health strategy by implementing specific projects and activities such as: delivering and assessing funding calls and directed activities, convening groups, drafting reports and liaising with internal and external groups and individuals as required.

    In this role you will:

  • Manage and flexibly support the current programme of projects with the Mental Health Translation team
  • Assist in convening meetings/workshops
  • Draft reports
  • Scope potential areas for strategic funding
  • Review and assess funding applications and commissioned research
  • Liaise and build relationships with internal and external groups / individuals as required to encourage, catalyse and promote opportunities to support Mental Health Translation and Research Programmes.
  • Contribute to a diverse and inclusive culture across the organisation, collaborating across departments.
  • To be successful in this role you will have:

  • Significant expertise in relation to at least one specialist area of mental health science, broadly defined, and experience in translational research. Expertise need not be limited to psychology, psychiatry or neuroscience: those with relevant expertise in a range of fields from molecular biology to social science will be considered.
  • Experience of conducting research in academia, industry or third sector organisations will be advantageous, a PhD is not essential.
  • Understanding of clinical research and clinical trials or commercialisation of mental health research.
  • Experience of employing diverse approaches to effectively communicate complex information to individuals and groups from a range of different background and different seniority levels.
  • Excellent organisational and project management skills. Demonstrated ability to manage a fluctuating workload and competing priorities.
  • Experience of working/funding in low-and-middle income country context would be desirable.
  • Interview dates: w/c 24 June
