The postholder will provide trusted research due diligence support to academic researchers working with international partners where compliance assessments are required.

The postholder will also deliver researcher training, support export control licence applications, and maintain a risk register to support ongoing compliance and monitoring.

This role is based two days a week onsite at Dept W in Stepney Green.

The Joint Research Management Office (JRMO) supports researchers across Queen Mary, University of London and Bart's Health NHS Trust. Our highly trained team is on hand to support a diverse range of research activities, from getting a project off the ground to ensuring its smooth running and future development. The team members understand where their work fits into the strategic plans and goals of the organisations.

Our services include assisting with the approvals process, ongoing financial management of grants and awards, support with Research Integrity, and International Research and Innovation Partnership Support.

At Queen Mary University of London, we believe that a diversity of ideas helps us achieve the previously unthinkable.

Throughout our history, we've fostered social justice and improved lives through academic excellence. And we continue to live and breathe this spirit today, not because it's simply 'the right thing to do' but for what it helps us achieve and the intellectual brilliance it delivers.

We continue to embrace diversity of thought and opinion in everything we do, in the belief that when views collide, disciplines interact, and perspectives intersect, truly original thought takes form.
