Academic research provides the building blocks for innovations and developments in understanding that can shape our world. Good research practice means that these innovations are ethical, reproducible and verifiable, resulting in benefits for all.

This role will be working with an enthusiastic and exciting new team in the Research Strategy and Policy Unit to develop the area of research practice at the University.
