Salary: Grade 8: £48,235 - £57,255 per annum (with a discretionary range to £62,407 per annum) 

We have an exciting opportunity for a new full-time Research Compute Data Manager to join the team at Institute of Biomedical Engineering within the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. You will support all data management and data compliance aspects of the growing biomedical engineering research cluster at IBME, which involves extensive collaborations with other Oxford departments across the MPLS and Medical Sciences Divisions of the University, funders, industrial and research collaborators and government.  The post is permanent and based in Headington. 

About The Role

As Research Data Manager, you will lead the development and implementation of data management strategies across IBME’s dynamic and interdisciplinary research environment. You will support researchers in managing sensitive and complex datasets, ensure compliance with data governance standards, and contribute to the development of secure, scalable, and sustainable research computing infrastructure.
