Director of Research, from £70,000 dependent on experience, London and remote.

Are you a professional research manager ready to make the transition to leadership or already leading a team and ready to grow professionally and extend your reach?  If so, you could lead the Medical Research Foundation’s Research department as our Director of Research. 

This is an exciting time to join us. We recently launched our new five-year organisational strategy Giving hope through life-changing medical research  and you will be crucial in helping us to deliver on this and achieve our vision of a world where medical research improves health for everyone.

History has shown us, time and again, that the best way to achieve better human health is through medical research.  Over the past 100 years, we have witnessed monumental advances in medical research. We know that by investing in medical research now, we will see life-saving advances in the future.

While the last century has brought huge improvements in the quality and longevity of life, there are still many health conditions which impose a heavy burden on millions of people, in the UK and around the world. And in many areas of health there is a severe lack of research funding, which is holding back the scientific progress needed to change lives.  This is where we step in.

Our mission is to lay the foundations for ground-breaking new discoveries and life-changing advances.  We give hope to people whose health conditions are overlooked, by supporting research in areas that are underfunded.  We invest in the brightest and best researchers, ensuring the next generation of scientists can continue to solve the biggest challenges facing human health.

In the last five years alone, we have invested over £25 million into life-changing medical research, focusing on areas that have historically been overlooked and underfunded.  But there is still much more to do.

Looking ahead, we know that nine million people in England alone will be living with a major illness by 2040 – that’s 2.5 million more than in 2019, an increase of 37%.  We will use our unique position, as a broad funder of medical research, to respond to these challenges and fund research in ways that will have the biggest possible impact on people’s lives.

We are broad and ambitious medical research funder and we operate to the highest professional standards. You will lead a department that funds research across the whole research spectrum from discovery to translation, and in a diverse range of priority areas including children and young people’s health, neglected mental health conditions and the impact of climate change on health. Visit our website to find out about our strategy to 2029: Giving hope through life-changing medical research.

As Director of Research, you will work closely with our CEO and will be responsible for:

• horizon scanning and landscape reviews to deliver our research strategy and ensure its continued relevance.
• research funding competitions to deliver at least £5m new research per annum.
• ongoing grant management of a £30m grant portfolio.
• reviewing and creating funding schemes to address unmet need.
• our framework for impact evaluation.
• wider development of the charity through membership of our Executive Leadership Team.

We are looking for candidates with:

• significant experience working in a biomedical sciences research/funding environment.
• significant experience of research funding competitions, peer review, and grant management.
• experience of the evaluation of research outputs and impact.
• experience of motivating and managing a team. 
• excellent communication and interpersonal skills, able to evidence relationship building with senior stakeholders and acting as an organisational representative.
• a PhD in biomedical sciences or a degree in biological sciences (or equivalent experience) with extensive experience working in a biomedical sciences funding environment.

Our offer

• from £70,000 for full-time 36 hour week; willing to consider part-time (min. 0.8 FTE)
• 30 days of annual leave per year plus bank holidays (some of which can be used flexibly)
• 10% maximum employer contribution
• Life insurance at four times salary
• Enhanced family-related leave and sickness leave
• Learning and development programmes and external training opportunities
• Generous additional benefits including regular team lunches, annual health assessments and optional social programme
• The opportunity to join a dedicated team making a difference to human health

Our team is proud to work for the Medical Research Foundation. We are ambitious for the organisation and for ourselves. We are approachable - providing advice to everyone and explaining our work. We are dedicated and committed to achieving the most for our donors and our researchers.  And we are involved – constantly looking for new ways to engage and improve. 

We value spending time working in-person to develop strong connections with each other and with our mission, and you will be based at our bright, plant-filled central London office for a minimum of three days a week, with the option to work remotely for the remainder.

The Living Wage Foundation has an exciting opportunity to join our dynamic team as a Research Manager. We are looking for an individual with quantitative research expertise and a desire to influence positive social change to join our Research Team. Previous experience in conducting research on the UK labour market is desirable but not essential. Reporting to the Senior Research Manager, the Research Manager will: 

• Contribute to the design and management of our research programme on labour market conditions, low pay, in-work poverty, and insecure work. 

• Conduct rigorous quantitative and qualitative research (mainly quantitative) to understand how existing working conditions such as low pay and insecure work - and potential improvements - affect workers, businesses, and society. 

• Provide thought-leadership on areas relevant to LWF’s work, including on areas like low pay, insecure work and cost-of-living, and relevant policy developments.

• Communicate research findings verbally and in writing to influence employers to pay the real Living Wage, and to grow recognition and understanding of the Living Wage Foundation and the social policy issues it works on.

• Provide input into in-house research standards and quality assurance.

• Have direct line management responsibility for a researcher. 

• Build relationships with external partners, including commissioning and managing research conducted by other organisations. 

Living Wage Foundation 

The Living Wage Foundation was launched in 2011 by Citizens UK to tackle in-work poverty and ensure that workers earn enough to live on and participate in family and community life. Citizens UK is the home of community organising with diverse civil society alliances set up to develop leaders to work on the issues that matter to them, such as the Living Wage. Other projects include Parent Action and Sponsor Refugees to add depth to the impact of Citizens UK’s work.

The Living Wage is a movement of businesses, organisations and people who believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. The real Living Wage is an independently-calculated hourly rate based on the cost of living and announced each October ahead of Living Wage Week, our annual celebration of a growing network of over 15,000 Living Wage Employers.

The Living Wage Foundation celebrates employers that voluntarily choose to pay the real Living Wage through an accreditation scheme that recognises a long-term commitment to fair pay and has secured pay rises for 475,000 low paid workers. Over recent years, the Living Wage Foundation has built on the success of the real Living Wage by creating new responsible employment standards – Living Hours and Living Pension – for those employers who want to go further and provide the security workers need now and in the future.

The Living Wage Foundation is part of Citizens UK – a community organising charity which works with a broad base of institutions across the political spectrum. At the Living Wage Foundation, we take a deliberately broad-based approach and accredit all organisations who pay the real Living Wage to their directly and indirectly employed staff and are committed to tackling in work poverty.  As a team we work across a range of industries and sectors to achieve this mission. We seek pragmatic coalitions in order to progress specific campaigns, and partnership around a particular issue such as Living Wage, does not imply an endorsement of broader purpose and policies.

Citizens UK

Citizens UK is the biggest, most diverse and most effective people-powered alliance of local communities working together for the common good. Our mission is to develop leaders, strengthen civic organisations and make change. Our 550 member communities are deeply rooted in their local areas and connect every day to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Through the method of community organising we enable people experiencing powerlessness to develop their leadership and come together with the power and strategy to make change.

This leads to hundreds of neighbourhood improvements - from zebra crossings outside primary schools to renovated public toilets in cemeteries. And it leads to some of the biggest campaign impacts in the UK, such as winning over £3 billion of wages through the UK Living Wage campaign, securing a legal cap on the cost of credit to control exploitative lending, and ending the detention of children for immigration purposes. We enable local campaigns to grow into large-scale social change projects such as the Living Wage Foundation, Parent Action and Sponsor Refugees that form an integral part of our theory of change. The most prominent of these is the rapidly growing Living Wage Foundation with a network of almost 15,000 accredited Living Wage Employers across the UK. 

At Citizens UK, our organisers and project staff work within communities and ‘organise across difference’. There are various project roles and management, operational, communication, finance and HR roles that support the organisation and project staff and organisers to deliver on this mission and work. This work is rewarding and can be challenging; it requires a personal commitment to inclusion, a willingness to listen and disagree respectfully, and an interest in working in an organisation where our staff, member institutions and leaders will come from a diversity of backgrounds and often hold views that may be very different from our own. More information about how we operate within this context, and build trusted relationships across difference can be found on our website and is covered in induction. Onboarding and navigating this relational culture, and type of work, is supported by line managers and further training.

About the Application Process

We work within diverse communities bringing people together. In line with our Inclusion value, we would love to see applications from LGBTQIA+ people, people from racialised communities, people living with disabilities and people of faith, all to better represent the communities we work in. We want our employees to have the working conditions that allows them to fully participate, be able to be their best authentic selves and thrive doing so, and we have employee networks to support staff. Even if you don’t quite meet all the required criteria still consider applying, as we invest in our employees and support them to develop the skills and knowledge required to deliver their role.
