R&I Project Officer

The University is committed to delivering globally-recognised research and innovation solutions that improve society. The Department for Research and Innovation (DRI) is central to enabling this through the provision of specialist professional services. The post-holder will provide flexible, high-quality project and analytical support across DRI's portfolio of critical activities, with an initial focus on REF 2029 preparation and the University's research performance evaluation framework.

Working across faculties, research institutes and professional services, the post holder will run discrete projects and workstreams end to end of planning, coordinating, tracking and reporting. The post holder will gather, analyse and present the data and evidence that underpin institutional decision-making. The role is deliberately broad: priorities will shift as the Department's strategic agenda evolves, and the post-holder is expected to redeploy rapidly between activities, bringing consistent project discipline and analytical rigour to each.

Whilst there is a need to be in Portsmouth a few days a week, hybrid working is available for this role, with a minimum of three days onsite required.

Interviews are currently anticipated to be held on 08 December 2026.
