Dr Aliakbar Jafari of the Department of Marketing has been appointed a Research Assessor for research grants applications submitted to the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland.
Carnegie Research Assessors are recruited from within the Scottish academic community and represent the different areas of research undertaken in Scotland. They are selected on the basis of their expertise in reviewing and their in-depth knowledge of their subject field. Some are previous grant holders of the Carnegie Trust, others are, or have been, reviewers for the Research Councils, or for other funding bodies such as the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
