This role is designed to support EPSRC-funded Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs) in complying with research security obligations and contractual arrangements with industry partners.

The successful candidate will be based within the Research Compliance Team, working closely with the Research Contracts Team, to ensure research activity is carried out with the highest degree of compliance with relevant legislation.

This is a groundbreaking role in a sector-leading capacity, joining a dynamic and rapidly evolving team responsible for advising research academics and professional services teams across the University.

The role involves developing relationships with CDT Directors, PhD students, and industrial partners, providing advice and training to research academics and those professional services staff that support them in the conduct of pioneering and prestigious research.

  • Investigate and manage enquiries from CDT Directors, supervisors, and postgraduate students regarding their research;
  • Assist in establishing policy, processes, and guidance around the University's response to legal compliance and contractual measures as relevant to CDTs;
  • Assist with training of professional services teams and research academics in the context of providing advice and awareness around research compliance and contractual requirements from CDTs, and associated risks of non-compliance;
  • Provide input into wider internal communications around prevalent research security risks and in preparing material for updates to SharePoint;
  • Horizon-scanning for arising risks and changes to legislation that could impact the University and, specifically, the CDTs awarded to the institution;
  • Develop a reporting function to showcase practice implementation for each of the 9 CDTs awarded to the University over a 4 year period with the aim of extending its reach and size in the short- and long-term.
