Job Description (Roles and Responsibilities)
This is an exciting opportunity to join the China team who will manage the £360m UK-China Science and Innovation Partnership Fund, (known as the Newton Fund), with funding split over seven years from 2014/15-2020/21. This fund is a political priority of the UK Government. Activities in the fund will be split across three strands: people exchanges, research collaboration, and translation of research. Each strand is led by specific UK delivery partners: Research Councils, Innovate UK, British Council, Met Office, and four Academies: Royal Society, Royal Academy of Engineering, British Academy, and Academy of Medical Sciences.
The post holder will be the team’s representative in South China, working alongside the British Consulate General’s Science and Innovation Team in Guangzhou. A large number of the UK’s key stakeholders and science and innovation collaborations are based in Guangdong, therefore this role will provide a key interface between those stakeholders and the Newton Fund. As other members of the Newton China team are based in the British Embassy Beijing, the post holder will need to be confident at building relationships and managing their own workload.

The post holder will also be expected to horizon scan possible opportunities in South China, feeding these into the relevant members of China and UK teams, to shape programmes in future years of the fund. The post holder will be expected to undertake some travel around South China, conducting meetings with relevant stakeholders on behalf of the Beijing part of the team.
