EPSRC seeks strategy advisers

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council is looking for applicants to join its strategic advisory teams.

Ruth Mallors-Ray, who chairs the EPSRC’s engineering strategic advice team, said applications were sought from individuals who “whilst a specialist in one area, are able to see beyond that specialism and act as an independent contributor to the work of the EPSRC”.

She added: “The strategic advisory team member often looks at the recommendations of EPSRC or the strategies of EPSRC and asks questions such as: how have you arrived at this recommendation? Have you been universal in your application of approach, so that the outcomes and recommendations have been arrived at through research, analysis and evidence gathering?”
