Open Research Adminstrator

We are seeking to appoint a skilled and motivated individual to join the RVC Open Research team in the capacity of UKRN Open Research Project Officer. In this important role you will directly contribute to the RVCs research strategy by communicating the benefits of, and helping enable, Open Research practices across the College. The Project Officer will work across the College, and nationally with the UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN; www.ukrn.org), to accelerate the uptake of Open Research practices. Open Research refers to research which is practiced in a way that is suitably transparent for others to contribute and collaborate, and that enables research to be reproduced. You will develop a database of evaluation and advocacy tools to help embed Open Research practices within the university and the wider academic community.

The post will be a key part of the RVCs involvement in the wider UKRN Open Research project. This project will drive uptake of Open Research practices across the UK, through the delivery of training and evaluation of its impact. Initially the project will be delivered across institutions that are part of the UK Reproducibility Network. The network is expected to grow over the five years of the award, making training and material available more widely across the sector. 

There is an opportunity to integrate study for a masters by research into open research practise in bioveterinary sciences as part of this position.

The post is funded for 24 months, and is full time.

Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact Professor Patrick A. Lewis by email: plewis@rvc.ac.uk

The RVC offer a generous reward package.
