Demonstrable experience relevant to leading and developing a multi-disciplinary research centre, evidenced by strong group leadership, networking, and national and international levels of impact and policy engagement is highly important. A strong ambition and strategic imagination to grow and develop
Energy Lancaster to meet the research needs of the global energy crisis is also necessary.
