A rare opportunity to devote your research and programme management expertise to one of the key challenges in the UK energy system: how to ensure that no one is left behind in the transition to net zero.

This new senior role will help develop the capabilities and performance of our Research & Analysis Team and take the lead on our ground-breaking Smart and Fair? programme.

This is a new role at CSE. Its creation has been stimulated by the impending departure of one of our senior researchers alongside a recognition of the need to adopt a more programmatic approach to our research work. It also reflects a shift in how the Research and Analysis team is led and managed. The Head of Research Programmes is one of three senior roles in the team (alongside the Head of Research Operations and the Director of Research and Analysis) that will jointly play a significant role in oversight of the team’s work and performance and in the future development of the team’s capabilities and activities. The role will work across the Research and Analysis team but with a particular focus on leading our Smart and Fair? programme. This is a ground-breaking initiative addressing how to ensure that no one is left behind in the transition to a smarter net zero energy system. Initiated by CSE in June 2019 and involving extensive engagement with expert stakeholders, we reported on the findings and recommendations from its first phase in October 2020. In developing Phase 2, what was effectively a single research project has developed into a more significant programme of work, consisting several different projects for which funding has been secured and a number of identified initiatives for which funding is being actively sought. 

We particularly welcome applications from the Black, Asian and minority ethnic and disabled communities, as they are under-represented at CSE. Appointment will always, however, be made on merit and judged against the job description and person specification. And we are pleased to be signed up to the Disability Confident scheme.
