The EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Research Council) is seeking applications from prominent individuals who can contribute to its Strategic Advisory Network.
The Network was established in June 2011, replacing the previous advisory bodies of the Technical Opportunities Panel, User Panel and Societal Issues Panel. It provides the EPSRC Executive with strategic advice to assist it to develop, implement and modify plans, and to make appropriate recommendations to Council.
The Network is a flexible resource, enabling the Executive to obtain the advice it needs in a timely manner, drawing on a range of perspectives from across EPSRC’s key stakeholder groups including academia, business, third sector and Government.
- Members will be prominent and highly regarded individuals from EPSRC’s stakeholder groupings.
- Members will have an established record of achievement and can bring a broad strategic view to bear.
- Members will bring expertise from their own background, but are required to act as ‘generous generalists’, advising across the breadth of EPSRC’s portfolio.
- Members are not required to represent their own organisation, nor to represent their entire sector.
There are eight vacancies on this occasion. If you are interested please download the application form here.
Applications must be submitted by 31 January 2013.
