Are you keen to work in a fast paced, innovative environment? Are you interested in supporting research and innovation in medical technologies?

Translate is a partnership between the Universities of Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, Leeds Beckett and York that aims to increase innovation capability among Leeds City Region academics, and develop and progress early stage medical technology ideas. We offer innovation training for medical technology researchers, secondments to develop specific translational skills or to progress technologies towards clinical application, and workshops to develop early stage medical technology ideas. We are looking for a self-motivated and enthusiastic person to manage and co-ordinate these activities. 

You will be based in Leeds and will work closely with researchers from the Universities of Bradford, Huddersfield, Leeds, Leeds Beckett, and York. In this varied and interesting role, you will liaise with our training delivery partners to further develop Translate’s annual programme of innovation training courses, including organising courses, managing the Translate secondment scheme, and running innovation workshops.
