Research Governance Support Officer

Please note, this post is permanent and full-time at 37 hours per week.

Research and Enterprise is a central professional support department that works across the University to develop our local, national, and international community through purposeful knowledge and research activities. We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and organised individual to join the team as a Research Governance Support Officer.

You will provide efficient and effective administrative support for developing research ethics and governance across the University, with a particular focus on the management of the Lincoln Ethics Application Management System (LEAMS). You will also assist with human tissue and research governance audits under the supervision of the Research Governance Manager and will work closely with other administrators within the department to support a wide range of activities including training, events, and data reporting.

You must be able to use their initiative, work as part of a team, and have the ability to thrive in a dynamic and challenging environment. Experience of database and/or project management would be beneficial but not essential as full training will be given. The role requires a high level of confidentiality.

The University of Lincoln offers exciting career opportunities with the chance to grow and develop to reach your full potential. We also offer a wide range of staff benefits, including a generous annual leave allowance of 30 days per year pro rata (plus an additional 14 bank holiday and concessionary days), progressive pay rates, access to discounts at popular stores and more.
