Nottingham Trent University is looking to fill two place-based impact acceleration account (PBIAA) roles.
The university is looking for a Project Manager with a strong track record in effectively managing and delivering large multi-partner interdisciplinary research programmes, in addition to a Business Engagement Manager with experience in fostering new academic-business collaborations.
The new roles will support a programme of activities designed to accelerate the East Midlands’ world class research into cutting-edge rehabilitation technologies (RehabTech) and ensure the success of the PBIAA programme.
The East Midlands is at the forefront of rehabilitation and associated technologies, recognised by the Government’s £105M investment in the National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC). In 2024, NTU won £2.5M from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council to support a four-year programme of knowledge exchange and impact activities that will catalyse on the region’s success and launch the East Midlands as the UK’s ‘RehabTech Valley’—a leading hub for RehabTech excellence, analogous to the impact of the UK’s Formula 1 Motorsport Valley.
Our PBIAA aims to build mechanisms currently missing to connect East Midlands’s cluster of 459 MedTech SMEs with our region’s world-class research and innovation, ensuring they dominate the design, development, and delivery of pioneering RehabTech to provide a boost to regional growth and productivity and ultimately transform health outcomes and inequalities. The 30-strong consortium is led by NTU, with the Universities of Nottingham, Loughborough, and Derby, and partners spanning medical and health tech organisations, the NHS, local government, and economic development.
