Edinburgh, United Kingdom University of Edinburgh Full time

**UE06: £30,619.00 - £35,308.00 Per Annum**

**Corporate Services Group / Edinburgh Research Office**

**Full Time - 35 Hours per Week**

**Fixed Term Contract for 1 Year**

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced research contracts specialist to play a key role in the continued evolution of our Research Contracts team, supporting a wonderful variety of world leading research.

**Edinburgh Research Office (ERO)**

Colleagues in Edinburgh Research Office work in partnership with researchers to develop and deliver world-leading research. We work across the research lifecycle - growing ideas into proposals, projects and impact. We are enablers and connectors, networked across the University, able to provide the best advice to researchers and research leaders in all disciplines. We are part of a wider ecosystem of over 300 colleagues providing research support across the University of Edinburgh - linking through our Schools, Colleges and Service Groups.

**The Opportunity**

We are seeking colleagues who will embody our values of expertise, community, integrity and collaboration.

The Research Contracts team works closely with the University of Edinburgh research and professional service communities, as well as external stakeholders, to provide an expert research contracts service; to ensure that the University upholds its commitments to the highest standards of research integrity; to ensure the University meets its regulatory and legal obligations (including the Trusted Research agenda); and to provide an information governance service for research data.

Currently reporting to a Senior Contracts Manager, you will join a team of 15 contracts specialists in a busy team which receives approximately 1600 contract requests per year. You will play a key role in the delivery of ERO’s research contracts service. To do this you’ll work on the drafting, negotiation and signature of legal agreements required for University research. Your involvement in the contract ends at signature - please note this is not a procurement role. You will build positive working relationships with colleagues in ERO, the University’s research community and other allied, expert professional services teams.

**Personal characteristics**

We are ambitious for our research contracts service, and look forward to the contribution your insights and experience will bring. As well as your recent experience and understanding of the contracting process - whether you are a contracts professional in a research intensive institution or work drafting, negotiating and finalising legal agreements in another setting - we need your enthusiasm, proactivity and advanced communication skills.

**Development Opportunities**

**Closing Date - 7 August 2023**

**Expected date of interviews - 17 August 2023**

**What skills and experience you will bring?**
- Recent, or related, relevant experience or an understanding of drafting, reviewing, and negotiating research contracts. In particular, an understanding of material transfer agreements and confidentiality agreements would be an advantage
- The ability to work independently, pay close attention to detail and to think pragmatically to develop legal solutions to contractual challenges
- An ability to work collaboratively with colleagues to successfully conclude contracts in a timely manner
- An aptitude for customer service.
- Excellent professional and communication skills

**As a valued member of our team you can expect**:
An exciting, positive, creative, challenging and rewarding place to work. We give you support, nurture your talent and reward success. You will benefit from a competitive reward package and a wide range of staff benefits, which includes a generous holiday entitlement, a defined benefits **pension scheme **, **staff discounts, **family friendly initiatives **, flexible working and much more. Access our **staff benefits page **for further information and use our **reward calculator **to find out the total value of pay and benefits provided.

The University of Edinburgh holds a Silver Athena SWAN award in recognition of our commitment to advance gender equality in higher education. We are members of the Race Equality Charter and we are also Stonewall Scotland Diversity Champions, actively promoting LGBT equality.

If invited for interview you will be required to evidence your right to work in the UK. Further information is available on our **right to work **webpages.

On this occasion the University will not consider applicants requiring sponsorship for this role. International workers will therefore only be able to take up this role if they can demonstrate an alternative right to work in the UK.
