With apologies for cross-posting, colleagues may be interested in this new Jisc post being advertised: https://isw.changeworknow.co.uk/jisc/vms/e/careers/positions/c_5SKqsrHerAe8kAgqd6Df The scope of the role is on research information, that is, the information that describes research as an activity, process and set of outputs and outcomes, as distinct from information comprising the substantive content of research. Research information is used by policy makers, funders and institutions to understand the research landscape, and to plan, manage and evaluate research, and by researchers to inform their projects and collaborations. We need an experienced individual to advocate approaches to research information that are in the long term, strategic interests of UK research. In doing that, they will secure sector and national support for Jisc's role in research information, as the organisational landscape of UK research evolves. To achieve this, the policy officer will present Jisc's activities, plans and vision to leaders in the research sector, including funders and universities at a senior level, and in the context of strategic and policy agendas that are priorities for them. The immediate outcome of this work will be a recognised role (eg on groups, committees, and in programmes, plans and strategies) for Jisc in the national and international research information and data landscape. The longer term outcome of this work will be greater awareness of and support for the strategic case for research information in the UK and internationally and, as a part of that, a clearer and more informed demand for relevant Jisc services and activities in the areas of research information, open research, research indicators and national research administrative data infrastructure.
