Sustainable Futures, along with Digital Futures and Creative Manchester, is one of three Research Platforms at the University of Manchester. These University-wide research communities help support and grow interdisciplinary research in key priority areas at a scale and pace commensurate with their importance to the University’s research strategy. Sustainable Futures seeks to address environmental challenges through the broad lens of sustainability (environmental, economic, and social). It recognises that these challenges are both urgent and interrelated, which ensures solutions will be necessarily interdisciplinary.

Working with the Director, Challenge Leads and the Strategy and Operations Manager and Research Platforms Team (Digital Futures and Sustainable Futures), you will help to map and align our current capabilities and interdisciplinary research, grow the platform by facilitating internal collaboration, and build our reputation through external engagement with stakeholders.
