Joining UKRIO at this pivotal moment, you will play a key role in helping us to shape our future, building partnerships and new income streams to enable us to expand our impact.
Research has the power to transform society – but only when it is conducted ethically and responsibly, with integrity embedded at every stage, can those benefits be realised. We have bold ideas for how we can better support the UK research sector uphold and embed integrity into their work and we’re looking for a dynamic, collaborative professional to build on our momentum and help drive this work forward.
