Didcot, United Kingdom Public Sector Resourcing Full time

**Contracts Coordinator Inside IR35**

**Contract Term: 3 - 6 Months**

**Contracting Authority: UKRI**

**Location: Harwell, Oxfordshire 1 day per week and 2 days remote.**

**Please note this is a part-time contract**

Most of the research groups at MRC Harwell attract external funding from a variety of sources, and/or engage in collaborative research, exchange materials or data, or undertake studies requiring ethical approval. All such activities require formal contracts and agreements, which serve both to facilitate the research and to protect the interests of the MRC and the research staff. Support in these areas is provided through working relationships with the Head of Finance, the Business Support Manager, and colleagues at other Institutes, working closely with colleagues from UKRI and LifeArc, MRC’s technology transfer partner.

Key to the success of this role will be the ability to combine an understanding of the research undertaken here at MRC Harwell, and of the potential and implications for collaboration or exploitation, with extensive experience in research contract and materials transfer agreement negotiation and management in this fast-paced environment. Some of our facilities operate a fee-for-service model as well as academic support; therefore ensuring that agreements are in line with expectations is paramount

**As a Contracts Coordinator at your main responsibilities would be**:

- Work with the Head of Biological Services and their team on the transfer of research materials from and to MRC Harwell.
- Identify and support due diligence, and advise on risk and any other contractual issues associated with the transfer into or out of MRC Harwell by individual research leaders/groups.
- Develop knowledge of the research portfolio of MRC Harwell, including the requirement for evaluation and protection of intellectual property.
- Work closely with and enhance the interactions between the MRC technology transfer service provider, LifeArc, and lead scientists at MRC Harwell

**You’ll have the following relevant criteria**:
**This must be demonstrated on your C.V**
- Relevant experience in contract drafting and management.
- Experience of working in a fast-paced environment.
- Good analytical ability.
- Understanding of intellectual property rights.
- Experience of negotiating academic agreements.
- Experience of working in a research or academic environment.
- Ability to explain policies and procedures and to adapt to changing requirements.
- Very good interpersonal skills and able to interact with staff at all levels.
- Ability to put across difficult concepts or different points of view while retaining the confidence of senior staff.
- Well-developed negotiating skills.
- Good team player.
- Organised and with an eye for detail.
- Ability to juggle priorities.

**It would be desirable for you to have the following;**
- Contract drafting and management in a scientific environment.
- Qualification in intellectual property law.
- Experience (or degree) in biological sciences.

**Should you require reasonable adjustments at any point during the recruitment process or if there is a more accessible way for us to communicate, please do let me know.**

**If you consider yourself to have a disability or if you are a veteran, and you meet the essential criteria for the role, PSR provides a ‘Guaranteed Interview’ scheme whereby you will have the opportunity to discuss this role and your suitability with a member of our PSR Sourcing team.**
