The Policy, Integrity and Performance Team within Research, Innovation and Knowledge Exchange (RIKE) is looking to recruit a Research Excellence Manager. The team is responsible for measuring and monitoring research performance, including the coordination of the submissions to the Research Excellence Framework (REF).
The Research Excellence Manager will play a key role in the team, working closely with the Head of Policy, Integrity and Performance, Director of RIKE and Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research, as well as other key stakeholders across the University to coordinate the University of York submission to REF 2029. As the rules for REF 2029 develop, the Research Excellence Manager will be the University’s central contact point for all REF queries and will represent the university externally on matters relating to REF. The postholder will also be responsible for the analysis of the REF results and preparation for any future exercise.
The Research Excellence Manager will report to and work closely with the Head of Policy, Integrity and Performance to develop and improve University systems and processes to support research excellence, and will play a key role in the delivery of the University’s Research Strategy. They will work with colleagues across the university to measure and monitor research performance, applying their expertise in research evaluation, including its responsible use. The role holder will be an expert in matters relating to research excellence, being a source of professional advice for colleagues across the institution.
