Swindon, United Kingdom UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Full time

**UK CORI Senior Strategy Advisor**

**Salary: £43,116**
**Grade: Band E**

**Hours: Full time, job share or part time (minimum 0.8 FTE)**
**Contract Type: Fixed Term, 12 months**
**Location: Polaris House, Swindon (Hybrid working available which will include travel to the office at least once a week)**

**Close date: 6 May**

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of work that will have a wide, system level impact on research in the UK. UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is hiring a senior strategy advisor for the UK Committee on Research Integrity (UK CORI). UK CORI operates independently of UKRI, working across the research system to promote and drive research integrity. However, the UK CORI secretariat is based within the UKRI strategy team focusing on research culture and environment.

**About the role**

You will provide strategic and committee support to UK CORI, reporting to the Policy & Committee Lead, and working closely with committee members to help ensure the committee fulfils its role. Offering a mix of opportunities, this role will appeal to someone with both committee and policy experience. We work with people at all levels of seniority and across a spectrum of roles, all of whom are committed to maintaining and improving honesty, transparency, rigour, accountability, care and respect in research. Further information on the committee is available at ukcori.org

**Purpose**

Working with the rest of the team, the postholder will support the committee to meet its objectives. Current priorities include: delivering the committee’s annual statement on research integrity, supporting a cross-sector working group on preventing poor research practice and misconduct, and developing potential indicators of research integrity.

Research integrity is fundamental to all research, so the postholder will need to be responsive to emerging and changing priorities. You will also work closely with teams across UKRI to cultivate a dynamic, diverse and all-encompassing system of R&I that is an integral part of society, giving everyone the opportunity to participate and to benefit.

**Key responsibilities**

**You will**:

- Be the main point of contact for committee members, providing information and support for them regarding their roles, advice on procedural and other matters, and contributing to the delivery of their work plan.
- Manage committee responsibilities related to formal and informal meetings, including the shaping and preparation of agendas, papers, and chair’s briefs, as well as drafting minutes and progressing actions.
- Build and maintain relationships with committee members, individuals, and groups across the research system, leading defined activities to help gather information and/or inform the committee’s work.
- Support planning and project management within the team, taking responsibility for management of specific project areas, and supporting successful delivery of the committee.
- Contribute to the collation and analysis of evidence, and lead defined activities within this, for example to support working groups or development of the committee’s annual statement.
- Support senior leadership within the committee and team, for example by writing briefings and contributing to speeches.
- Line manage the UK CORI Strategy Advisor.

**Key criteria for shortlisting and interview**

**Essential**
- **Policy experience**: Experience working in research and innovation policy, strategy, and/or a funding landscape, and an ability to draw together and present reasonable conclusions from a wide range of evidence and data.
- Committee experience: Previous experience working for a committee, board, or similar entity, including drafting agendas, chair’s briefs, minutes, as well as keeping and progressing actions.
- **Project management**: Experience of managing projects with the ability to work independently and lead on specific pieces of work, demonstrating good organisational skills and attention to detail. Organised, able to deliver to deadline but flexible to changing priorities while still driving things forward.
- **Stakeholder management**: Ability to build and maintain strong relationships with colleagues at all levels to achieve progress on objectives and shared interests. Experience of leading defined activities, and supporting wider and/or larger scale programmes, such as convening sector-wide and expert discussions.
- **Written communication skills**: Strong and effective writing, producing high quality, concise papers, drawing on evidence to set out compelling arguments and justifications for recommendations suitable for a range of internal and external audiences, including senior leaders.
- **Keen collaborator**:Work as an effective teammate, demonstrating an ability to scope, plan and prioritise own work and the work of others, including under pressure. Experience of working to deadline to deliver project and programme outcomes, including adjusting as changing situations dicta
