Overview
UK Research and Innovation is the non-departmental public body, headquartered in Swindon, England, that directs UK government funding for research and innovation through seven research councils, Innovate UK and Research England. Launched in April 2018, it invests more than 9 billion pounds a year across the arts, sciences and engineering, and runs institutes such as the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, RAL Space and the National Quantum Computing Centre. Its vacancies range from postdoctoral scientists, quantum researchers and oceanographers to quality specialists, apprentices, technicians, real estate, recruitment and administrative staff.
