University of Strathclyde - Research and Knowledge Exchange Services Directorate

FTE: 1.0 (35 hours per week)

Term: Fixed (until 30th June 2027)

The RKES Directorate provides all the central support to deliver the University’s Research (“R”) and Knowledge Exchange (“KE”) strategies. RKES manages a number of initiatives that support R&KE either directly or on behalf of the Associate Principal/Deputy Associate Principals and has an important role to play in partnering with the Faculties to help Strathclyde achieve its strategic ambitions.

We are seeking to appoint an Ethics Administrator to carry out administrative tasks arising from the activities of the University Ethics Committee (UEC) and support the administration of research governance activities associated with the University’s sponsorship of human subject research. This will include supporting the implementation and administration of our research awards management system. With excellent system administration and stakeholder engagement skills you will play a critical role in the delivery of Strathclyde’s research & knowledge exchange ambitions. Your experience in administrative processes, system administration, as well as excellent communication and organisation skills will be central to the delivery of a University wide strategic project for the implementation of a new award management system including research costing, knowledge exchange, contracts, ethics and peer review.

Based in the Research Policy & Information team within RKES, and working closely with the Research Ethics & Governance Manager, you will manage the administration of the University Ethics Committee, assist in reviewing clinical and non-clinical research studies and associated ethics applications, providing guidance to researchers and contributing to the management of sponsorship responsibilities. You will be responsible for engaging with stakeholders, developing expert knowledge of the ethics module of the awards management system and how it should be implemented at Strathclyde, ensuring the new system is designed to meet business requirements, and helping to put processes and documentation in place to support the ongoing maintenance, upgrade, and advocacy of the new system.

The ideal candidate will be solution-focused, collaborative, have excellent communication and time-management skills, and strong attention to detail.

Interviews are provisionally scheduled to take place on 10th April 2026.
