Research Services

This full time post is available from immediately on a fixed term basis until 31 July 2023.

Summary of the role

The University of Exeter has grown its research activity significantly over the last few years and, since joining the Russell Group of research-intensive universities in 2012, has made a step change in its research income and earnings performance, research quality, numbers of research students and knowledge transfer activities.

The Research Services Directorate is a key enabler to the delivery of the University’s Research and Impact Strategy, a successful next REF submission and meeting research income targets, by: 

  • supporting the full research project lifecycle from inception to impact; ensuring local delivery of support to academics from horizon scanning through research development, bidding and contracting, research project management & delivery (including financial post-award management) to post-project development and reporting.
  • providing joint strategic, policy and planning support to the University and its Colleges to build and sustain an excellent research environment for our academics.
  • delivering a ‘shared support service’ to three Directorates (Research Services; Innovation, Impact and Business (IIB); and the Doctoral College) for strategy, policy, planning, information, systems, training and operations, maximizing efficiencies and providing a coordinated engagement with other units, specifically the Colleges. 

This role is within the Research Development and Management pillar of the Research Services Directorate, which provides local delivery of support to academics across the full research project lifecycle from horizon scanning, research development, bidding and contracting, research project management & delivery (including financial post-award management) to post-project development and reporting, bringing together discipline–focused resources with funder-focused expertise. Research Development & Management and some Research Finance staff are managed and organised in 5 clusters, either around a particular group of funders (Health; Biosciences; Physical sciences and technology; Social sciences; Humanities; European/International) or for Cornwall research services.

This role in particular will be supporting 2 significant and strategically important areas of research development. 50% of the role will be required to support International funding and processes relating to Plan B and 50% of the role will be required to support the development of applications to the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training.
