Energy research development manager at Imperial College London (Linked to EP/E011705)

应对全球变暖的需要，再加上对能源供应可获得性和安全性的担忧，导致各国政府和工业界对能源研究重新产生了兴趣，包括承认能源是EPSRC战略计划中的一个关键主题，以及跨学科工作的必要性。帝国理工学院在应对跨学科能源研究的挑战方面拥有独特的能力。它提供世界领先的科学和工程研究机构之一以及国际知名的商业和医学院的组合，所有这些都基于一个紧凑的校园，位于世界上最具创新精神的大都市之一，靠近政府、国际金融和一些世界上最大的能源公司。该学院拥有许多关键能源技术的专业知识中心，包括碳氢化合物、碳封存、核能、燃料电池、生物能源、光伏、聚变等，它吸引了国际上最有能力的教职员工和学生。作为英国能源研究中心总部的东道主，它处于关键地位，可以帮助制定国家能源议程，同时通过从中国到美国的全球研究合作保持广泛的国际联系。帝国理工学院最近发起了一项跨学院的大型综合计划--能源期货实验室。其目标是制定新的跨学科研究方案，以应对全球能源挑战，促进向可持续能源未来的过渡。该实验室将使Imperial能够将其在技术开发方面的现有优势与其在创新和创业方面的成熟记录结合在一起，并将与能源行业的其他组织合作，如英国能源研究中心、碳信托基金、研究委员会、工业、欧盟计划和英国政府。为了实现这些目标，该提案寻求EPSRC支持一名能源研究经理，该经理将为管理团队提供支持，并在执行实验室的使命方面发挥关键作用。

The need to address global warming, combined with concern about availability and security of energy supplies, has led to renewed interest in energy research from governments and industry, including the recognition of energy as a key theme within the EPSRC strategic plan, along with the need for interdisciplinary working. Imperial College has unique capabilities to deploy in meeting the challenges of interdisciplinary energy research. It offers the combination of one of the world's leading science and engineering research organisations together with internationally renowned business and medical schools, all based on a compact campus located in one of the world's most innovative metropolitan areas close to government, international finance and some of the worlds largest energy companies. The College houses centres of expertise in many key energy technologies, including hydrocarbons, carbon sequestration, nuclear energy, fuel cells, bioenergy, photovoltaics, fusion, and others, and it attracts the most able staff and students internationally. As the host for the UK Energy Research Centre headquarters it is in a pivotal position to help develop the national energy agenda, while also maintaining broad international links through research collaborations across the globe from China to the USA. Imperial College has recently launched a major integrated cross-College initiative, the Energy Futures Lab. Its goal is to develop new inter-disciplinary research programmes that will meet global energy challenges and facilitate the transition to a sustainable energy future. The Lab will enable Imperial to bring together its existing strengths in technology development with its proven track record in innovation and entrepreneurship, and will work in collaboration with other organisations in the energy sector, e.g. UKERC, Carbon Trust, Research Councils, industry, EU programmes and UK Government. To realise these goals, this proposal seeks EPSRC support for an energy research manager who will support the management team and play a key role in implementing the Lab's mission.
