New Convenor sought for the Oxford Energy Network
The MPLS Division seeks to appoint a new Convenor to the University’s Energy Network (OEN).
The University of Oxford is a leader in energy research in the UK and globally. The OEN aims to expand energy research, in particular to address the need for decarbonisation of energy. The Oxford Energy Network has been established for more than a decade to co-ordinate inter-disciplinary research and engagement in the energy domain. Alongside the ZERO Institute, there is an opportunity to consolidate our activities in promoting zero-carbon energy systems.
The Convenor of the university’s Energy Network works with the Network’s Steering Group to provide leadership and coordination for energy research in the university, with particular attention to strategic opportunities and inter-departmental links and activities. The Convenor will sit on the ZERO Institute’s Leadership Team and participate in its activities, promoting integration of OEN and ZERO strategy.
The Convenor must hold an existing role at the University. They can be based in any department, but will link to energy research across the university. The Convenor will be supported by the Steering Group of the Energy Network and The ZERO Institute.
We welcome interest from any type of Oxford postholder. We are committed to upholding equality, diversity and inclusion, and applications from a wide pool of candidates are welcomed. We would encourage applications from candidates who have demonstrated experience in collaborative working across multiple facets of the energy transition.
