    Science and Innovation Officer, Climate Solutions Catalyst - United Kingdom - BBSTEM Ltd.

    BBSTEM Ltd.
    Default job background
    Description

    The Grantham Institute – Climate Change and the Environment, was established at Imperial College London in 2007 to act as a central hub to pull together the different work taking place across the university that can help tackle climate change and environmental challenges. The innovation dimension of the Grantham Institute's work is run under the banner Undaunted.

    Undaunted's mission is to nurture a climate innovation ecosystem that enables the creation of scalable innovative solutions to the climate challenge at pace. To achieve this mission, Undaunted is building a pipeline of routes into climate entrepreneurship, incubating innovators through our Greenhouse accelerator programme, delivering an ecosystem that empowers impact and creating a landscape where climate innovation can flourish.

    We are now launching an exciting new experimental activity at the very start of the climate innovation pipeline: the Climate Solutions Catalyst. The objective of the programme is to test the hypothesis that the UK university sector has already made discoveries and inventions that can help tackle climate change, if only they can be found and supported properly. Working collaboratively with as many other UK universities as possible, and a full range of stakeholders, this two-year trial programme will try and unearth neglected climate solutions from the full breadth and depth of the UK research community, and then test potential support offers for these solutions and the researchers and innovators that discovered them.

    This project has the potential to have significant impact in tackling climate change and improving the climate innovation pipeline in the UK and, eventually, more widely.

    We are looking to hire someone with a good understanding of the climate change problem space where innovations are needed, coupled with project management skills and the natural curiosity required to support the delivery of this programme, working in a team under the leadership of the Head of the Climate Solutions Catalyst, and alongside a project administrator and machine learning specialist.

    Duties and responsibilities

    You will have a critical role in delivering various aspects of the programme and maintaining working relationships with a range of key actors. We would expect you to organise and convene experts as part of the search process including sandpits and advisory groups. You will also carry out your own analysis and reporting at all phases of the project: searching for solutions; assessing existing support mechanisms for the commercialisation of early-stage discoveries; and the delivery of support (financial and non-financial) to researchers. You will also be the liaison for a range of researchers at various stages in the process and would be responsible for convening and organising follow on events eg, innovation training, with the support of the Climate Solutions Catalyst administrator.

    You will be an active member of the Undaunted team, working with other members of the team to deliver on our wider mission to drive forward climate innovation in the UK and beyond.

    We are looking for someone with experience of working in any part of the broad climate research community, with knowledge and expertise of support for innovation, preferably with a network and experience in the UK. You will have the interest, flexibility and drive to engage actively with a new programme and the curiosity to explore the trial aspects of this programme, responding to findings and insights provided by a range of sources.

    You will have a combination of strong analytical and communication skills.

    This is a full time, fixed term position for 2 years. You will be based across South Kensington Campus and White City Campus.

    Hybrid working may be considered for this role. Staff working in roles that are suitable for hybrid working will normally be expected to work 60% of their time onsite. The opportunity for hybrid working will be discussed at interview.
