Research Manager
The new Research Manager will initiate and spearhead a new Research Division for the Council, whose aim will be to generate and coordinate much-needed research into multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary aspects of tall buildings and the urban habitat internationally. The initial tasks for the new Research Manager will be to analyze areas for research, identify funding opportunities, and to prepare proposals to be submitted to research funding bodies to support funded research to be undertaken within the auspices of CTBUH and IIT, in conjunction with relevant industrial partners from within/without the CTBUH network. Thereafter the Research Manager will be responsible for coordinating the funded research and ensuring the growth of the research division, and the relevance of the research output to the international community. It is anticipated that the Research Manager will be heading a team of 3-4 researchers within 18 months - 2 years of his/her appointment, as a result of the funded research submissions.

Such are the challenges of this role that it is essential that the candidate comes from a research background, with prior experience of compiling and submitting research funding bids, and undertaking funded research. Whilst this candidate can be drawn from any of the building professions – architecture, engineering, construction, financial etc – a prior experience with some aspect of tall buildings would be considered an advantage. The hired candidate would also be expected to contribute to the wider initiatives of the Council beyond the new research division.This position could be filled through a fixed-term assignment from industry. Salary & benefits would be commensurate with background and experience. Ideally candidates should hold a minimum of a PhD qualification. It is expected that this position will be an IIT faculty appointment at the level of Research Assistant/Associate Professor.
