Description

Space Hub Yorkshire - Space Technology Lead:

You will have an excellent track record of technical expertise in the Space sector, leadership skills; and an enthusiasm for working closely with academics, businesses and international Space agencies.

Space Hub Yorkshire (SHY) is supporting the growth of the UK's Space industry in Yorkshire.

The SHY consortium brings together Universities, colleges, local authorities, government agencies, and commercial partners covering a geographic area across the Yorkshire (and Humber) region, and building links with other clusters across the UK.

SHY has now won three rounds of UK Space Agency (UKSA) funding for development of our regional Space hub, which we do in close collaboration with Space agency and the Satellite Applications Catapult.

The UKSA grant is part of national programme to grow the UK's Space sector through the development of other regional Space hubs across the UK.

Over the past few years SHY has grown from a new spin out to an established cluster, with a track record of running national events to showcase our regions world-leading Space expertise, including Satellite Earth observation and environmental monitoring, high performance manufacturing and robotics, and RF technology.

SHY stakeholders include the Satellite Applications Catapult, the 4 Yorkshire LEPs, Mayoral Combined Authorities, Yorkshire Universities, UKSA, and over 250 commercial companies.

The role, based in the School of Earth and Environment, will involve significant engagement with Universities, businesses, policy makers and industry and third-sector partners.
