Chief Academic Officer
Indicative FTE 0.5, to be discussed
VSM – Competitive Salary
Closing – 30th September
Overview:
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Chief Academic Officer, this is a joint post working with Health Innovation Manchester and The University of Manchester.
Working as part of the Executive team within Health Innovation Manchester (HInM), the Chief Academic Officer will have responsibility for overall HInM Research and Education strategy, delivery of the Manchester Academic Health Science Centre (MAHSC), and academic partnerships, alongside the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration Greater Manchester (ARC-GM). This is a real opportunity to work at a Greater Manchester system level not only with the four Universities in GM, and our research and clinical colleagues, but also with executives within the senior leadership team of NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care.
They will ensure the region’s portfolio of translational research, major research assets (expertise and infrastructure), and research support systems align with the health and social care priorities of Greater Manchester (GM). Working with system partners, they will have oversight from early discovery research, experimental medicine, clinical trials, through to robust evaluation and implementation. They will work with these partners to build capability and capacity in our workforce to ensure that research evidence, practical knowledge of how digital and information systems can enhance models of care, and scientific rigour, are at the heart of health and social care decision making for the population of GM.
The successful candidate will combine their role as a senior academic or clinician (including NMAHPs) in one of the GM partners (indicative 0.5 FTE, to be agreed). As HInM continues to evolve and position itself for future sustainability, the Chief Academic Officer must be comfortable working in a rapidly changing environment.
If you have the skills, experience, and appetite to enhance Greater Manchester’s reputation on the world stage, this could be the role for you. As this can be undertaken as a secondment it can work alongside an existing role.
