The opportunity

The Research   Excellence Framework (REF) assesses the quality of research activity in   higher education in the UK to inform the allocation of public funding for   research and to provide evidence of the benefits achieved from this funding.   The framework assesses the quality of the research in terms of the outputs of   the research, the impact from the research, and the environment in which   research in conducted and supported. 

The role   will be part of the university Research Management and Administration section   and will work with academics, research centers and the Research Network and   Impact Coordinator to develop and craft impact case studies for the   university submission to REF2021. The role will also involve working with the   Dean for Research to draft and edit other constituent elements of the   submission, as well as refining the final submission to create a consistent   narrative throughout. The role will involve incorporating material from

both   practice and theory-based research, spanning the spectrum of arts and design   research, and the production of written material for the website in support   of the submission.

About you

You should be educated to degree level, and a background in editorial or publishing work or previous experience of developing impact case studies for the REF. You will have experience of working collaboratively to produce written communication on the work of others. Experience of working within the field or arts and design would be desirable but not essential. You must have excellent written and oral communications skills and be able to plan, prioritise and organise work to achieve objectives on time.
