Working with the Impact and Culture Manager, you will take a lead and active approach in developing and maintaining positive relationships with researchers across our university, and support them in identifying impact arising from their research and ensuring evidence is captured and stored appropriately, including managing the collection, curation, and submission of evidence for the Research Excellence Framework (REF).
