NC3Rs is looking for board members

The NC3Rs is recruiting for up to two members to join its Board from 1 January 2023. The 3Rs, and the NC3Rs, have a vital role to play in the UK’s research and innovation system, empowering researchers to make informed decisions that underpin the conduct of reproducible, rigorous and high quality science benefitting animals, humans, the environment and the economy

Joining the NC3Rs Board presents an opportunity to help shape the NC3Rs strategy and promote the UK’s position as a world leader in 3Rs research and development.

Applications are sought from talented senior scientists and internationally recognised leaders with:

  • Commercial/business specialism
  • Experience of working at the academic/industry interface
  • Science innovation or commercialisation expertise


Applications from candidates based in the pharmaceutical or chemicals industry are particularly encouraged, as are those with current in vivo expertise. Further information regarding the level of experience required, and an application form, can be found on the NC3Rs website at https://www.nc3rs.org.uk/board-member-vacancies. Please note the application deadline is 8 September 2022.

The NC3Rs is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcomes applications from all. Applications from women, those with a disability, and members of minority ethnic groups, who are currently under-represented at senior levels in the research and innovation community, are therefore especially encouraged.

Queries regarding the vacancies are very welcome and can be directed to [email protected].
