Job Description

The Nanomedicine Laboratory\'s mission ( ) is to generate and disseminate fundamental knowledge in the field of nanomedicine by bringing together nanotechnology, bioengineering, pharmacology and their translation to advanced, clinically-relevant therapeutics and diagnostics. Our aim is the development of novel, safe and effective therapeutics based on nanoscale components and their combinations, used as either the \'drug\' or the \'transport system\'. Such components include DNA, RNA, viruses, stem cells, radionuclides, liposomes, graphene, 2D-heterostructures, carbon nanotubes and other nanomaterials (quantum dots, fullerenes, carbon nanohorns).The research efforts taking place within the Nanomedicine Lab have been cross-cutting disciplines, bridging the gap between fundamental nanomaterial engineering and medicines development towards the realisation of advanced therapeutic modalities. Our mission is to pioneer the cutting-edge and emerging discipline of nanomedicine by bringing advanced materials and nanoscale platforms to the clinic.

The Project Manager will work with Professor Kostarelos and the Nanomedicine Lab PI\'s to co-ordinate and manage the work of the Nanomedicine Laboratory. The post-holder will focus on the management of UKRI, EU and charity funded research projects in order to achieve the deliverables and milestones set and within budget, but will also assist all the Nanomedicine Lab PI\'s in managing the studentships, donations, the Lab Business Case and new project applications that the Laboratory will submit.

Key to this stimulating yet challenging role will be the development of detailed project plans, the management and coordination of complex interdisciplinary tasks, the coordination of multiple stakeholders across many disciplines and sectors (including clinicians, academics, industrialists, students, researchers, and the project funders) and the ability to collaborate with, and when necessary influence, senior academics. Skill and dexterity in this role are essential to ensure the projects are delivered on time, to scope and with high impact.

What you will get in return:

• Fantastic market leading Pension scheme
• Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme
• Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays
• Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
• Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers
