About hybrid working

We support a hybrid approach, and you can expect a mix of working from home, the office, and occasionally at other UK locations.

At times, this may involve overnight stays and/or occasional work outside of standard office hours.

About the role
The Metascience Programme was launched in 2024 in partnership with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. It is dedicated to accelerating the generation and use of evidence on how to fund, support and conduct science more effectively. The Metascience Programme is delivered by a joint unit with staff drawn from both UKRI and DSIT. The unit has four main functions: administering grant programmes; running in-house experiments on UKRI’s funding processes; commissioning research projects; and supporting the uptake of evidence into policy and funding delivery.

The role holder will join the UK Metascience Unit and will play an important role in delivering it’s strategy for the next four years from 2026-2030. The role holder will lead on developing and coordinating Metascience trials/experiments, generating evidence to inform the development of policy and funding practice. They will also lead on developing and managing a portfolio of Metascience research, aimed at developing the field of Metascience, both nationally and globally, and informing policy change.

This role will require close and effective working with internal and external partners to guarantee alignment with the needs and interests of the various parties whose support will be critical to successful programme delivery.
Your responsibilities:

Working as part of the DSIT/UKRI Metascience Unit, the role will involve:

Working at the interface between strategic leadership and delivery with strong communication skills to develop and implement key priorities, policies, and strategies.
Building and developing strong relationships, working across UKRI, government departments, other funders and stakeholders to ensure that investments are connected and impactful.
Leading the design, delivery and evaluation of applied experiments on UKRI funding processes, to inform changes in policy and practice.
Responsibility for scoping, developing, commissioning and managing a portfolio of metascience-related research, through collaborative partnerships across UKRI, other Government organisations and wider partners, to maximise impact and knowledge exchange.
Developing and overseeing cohort engagement activities and events to promote networking and knowledge exchange.
Working with others to ensure that allocated investments are appropriately governed, monitored, evaluated, and communicated.
Working with others to manage a programme of contracted research and activities with a delivery partner.
Providing support to and deputise for the team head as required and undertake periodic work on areas outside of the team as needed, supporting the wider work of ESRC.
