The MRC Centre for Medical Mycology at the University of Exeter (MRC CMM) wishes to recruit a Project Manager to manage the FAILSAFE project (https://cmm-failsafe.com/), led by Profs Gordon Brown, Director, and Elaine Bignell, Co-Director (Research) of the MRC CMM, which will sit within the MRC CMM main goals (and in particular within aim 3) which are: (1) To promote innovative interdisciplinary research that tackles the major challenges facing the field, facilitated by the recruitment of two outstanding scientists in key areas of antifungal drug resistance and in infectious co-morbidities; (2) To increase capacity in medical mycology in the UK and globally, by delivering a strong cohort of basic and clinical researchers in medical mycology through excellent training programmes focussed at different stages of career development; (3) To support global efforts to tackle devastating fungal infections through establishing and strengthening research and training Units in low and middle income regions of the world which lack bespoke expertise and suffer high burdens of fungal disease; and (4) To promote medical mycology and the activities of the Centre through an ambitious programme of engagement that seeks to inspire future medical mycologists and to challenge and change public perceptions of fungal disease.

In addition, you will lead on the monitoring of project activities and the capturing of outputs such as publications and impact, which will be regularly reported internally and externally.
