The Research Integrity and Compliance Officer will be based in Research and Innovation Services and will work with the Research Integrity, Governance and Ethics team to provide capacity across all areas of the team's research integrity related activities, spanning all three of the University's colleges (Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Biomedical and Life Sciences and Physical Sciences and Engineering). You will support compliance with the Universities UK (UUK) Concordat to Support Research Integrity, implementing relevant University policies and developing information resources and training to ensure best practice. In particular, you will take the lead in working with researchers and professional services colleagues across the University to identify, mitigate and manage risks connected with international collaboration, including the requirements of export control regulations, the National Security and Investment Act and the Nagoya protocol.
This role is eligible to be offered on a blended working basis, meaning that as well as spending time working on campus you can also choose to spend some time working from another location, e.g. your home. The University is committed to offering this flexibility, wherever the role and business need allows, supporting worklife balance.
