Job description

Dear Applicant, 

We are looking for a talented and experienced Research Manager to help us manage and be responsible for our research grants programme. This includes maintenance of our existing grant portfolio as well as management of our national funding calls and the award of new grants. The role requires the development of close working relationships with research stakeholders including our staff, the members of our Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP), our grant-holders and funding partners.

We currently have 38 active research grants, and award approximately £1.5 million of new grants each year. 

The Research Manager runs the grants programme with support from the CEO. In addition, you will work closely with the Communications Manager on research communications. 

You will be a self-starter, able to self-motivate and thrive on working with a range of individuals and organisations. You will be a skilled communicator, working with a variety of stakeholders, including our SAP, our Fundraising and Communications team and our grant holders. 


A successful Research Manager at Brain Research UK will have a full grasp of all elements of grant management. You will have a close working relationship with the fundraising and communications team to provide, in lay terms, explanations of projects to our donors. You will help drive excellence in our grant assessment and management processes, to ensure the best research is funded and appropriately managed. 

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with experience who is looking for their next challenge, to join a small, dedicated and ambitious team. 

To apply, please submit your CV and a cover letter of no more than two pages stating why you would like to work for Brain Research UK and why you believe you are well suited to the role. Please apply by 4pm on Wednesday 15th October 2025

Caroline Blakely CEO
