{"job":{"jobId":1028,"fk_accountId":null,"fk_organizationId":1838,"fk_adminAccountId":null,"title":"Cranfield University Research Ethics Committee","description":"\n<p><strong>Organisation </strong>Cranfield University\n<strong>School/Department </strong>Executive Office\n<strong>Based at </strong>Cranfield Campus, Cranfield, Bedfordshire\n<strong>Hours of work </strong>N/A\n<strong>Contract type </strong>Permanent\n<strong>Salary </strong>N/A\n<strong>Apply by </strong>28/02/2020</p>\n<p><strong>Role Description</strong></p>\n<p>The University is seeking a new Chair for the Cranfield University Research Ethics Committee (CUREC).</p>\n<p>The University has adopted Universities UK’s policy “The Concordat to Support Research Integrity” and seeks to abide by the commitments set out in the concordat.</p>\n<p>CUREC is a policy level committee reporting to Senate and providing assurance to Council. Its main functions are to ensure that research ethics are maintained and enhanced, and to represent the interests of participants and other stakeholders who take part in, or are affected by, research conducted by the University’s staff or students. </p>\n<p>The members of CUREC are both external and internal to the University; critically they are independent of the research. The Committee must be formally chaired by a person external to the university.</p>\n<p>Ethical review is an essential part of research at Cranfield and CUREC was established to oversee the University’s research practices. CUREC is responsible for ensuring that the University provides a consistent and appropriate framework for ethical review of the University’s research as well as providing leadership on ethics matters related to research. It is responsible for monitoring submissions in terms of management information and of issues associated with adverse occurrences or near misses and reporting to the University’s Senate.</p>\n<p>Whilst the Chair may be required to undertake some reviews (especially at higher levels of risk) their main role is strategic. The Chair must have a good knowledge of research ethics. They must be independently minded and be happy to ensure that applicants ‘do the right thing’ when it comes to research, no matter what, and so demonstrate a high level of integrity.</p>\n<p>The Chair is required to attend and lead two CUREC meetings a year to review the previous six months’ activities and, importantly, be available to consider on an <em>ad hoc</em> basis other relevant issues between meetings. The Chair is supported by a Vice-Chair who is a university member of staff. There is little administration required for this role as a senior Manager and a secretariat run the system on a day to day basis; occasional meetings with the team and the Vice-Chair may be necessary from time to time, though much communication is via email.</p>\n<p>The appointment is for a five-year period with reappointment for one further five-year term permissible. Research Integrity is at the heart of Cranfield’s research and this is a chance to continue to develop that important agenda. The position provides an opportunity for an individual to influence university policy, to extend their understanding of a critical area, as well as providing an overview of the range and type of research work undertaken across the university, and engage in the intellectual and moral challenge of having to make sometimes complex ethical decisions.</p>\n<p><strong>Expressions of interest should be sent in the form of a covering letter outlining motivation for joining Cranfield’s ethics committee highlighting relevant experience, accompanied by a CV. </strong></p>\n<p><strong>Please send formal expressions of interest to Mrs Michelle Carter, Research Governance and Programme Manager via <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"mailto:m.carter@cranfield.ac.uk\" rel=\"no-follow\">m.carter@cranfield.ac.uk</a></strong></p>\n<p>All expressions of interest will be responded to, and individuals selected for the short-list will be invited to a discussion with key external and internal members of the Committee.</p>\n<p>The current Chair, Professor David Myddelton is happy to have an informal discussion with people who may be interested in the role. To arrange an informal discussion, please contact <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"mailto:m.carter@cranfield.ac.uk\" rel=\"no-follow\">m.carter@cranfield.ac.uk</a> in the first instance.</p>\n","pdfUrl1":null,"location":"Cranfield, United Kingdom","location1":"유럽","location2":null,"location3":null,"type":"1","applyUrl":"https://jobs.cranfield.ac.uk/vacancy/cranfield-university-research-ethics-committee-411592.html","fileUrl1":"","fileUrl2":"","fileUrl3":"","fileUrl4":"","fileUrl5":null,"fileUrl6":null,"fileUrl7":null,"workingHour":"Full Time","contractType":"Fixed Term, \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPermanent","salary":"","original_id":"UNI|193830","original_domain":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs","original_url":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs/listing/193830/cranfield-university-research-ethics-committee/?LinkSource=PremiumListing","original_isPremium":"true","closeType":2,"closedAt":null,"requireEducation":10,"managerTel":"","managerFax":"","managerEmail":"m.carter@cranfield.ac.uk","managerName":"CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY","managerPhone":"","managerAddress":null,"log_hit":5,"log_like":0,"publishState":1,"organizationName":null,"organizationName_en":null,"organizationName_alt":null,"createdAt":"2020-01-23T09:00:00.000Z","updatedAt":null},"organization":{"organizationId":1838,"lv1Id":null,"lv2Id":null,"name":"CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY","name_en":"Cranfield University","name_alt":null,"introduction":null,"logoImg":"https://researchtestjob.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/logo/1838-logo.png","logoImgSquare":"https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/jobs.ac.kr/dev/images/Aerospace_18797299540.jpg","homepageUrl":"https://www.cranfield.ac.uk/","infoUrl":null,"country":"GB","state":"Cranfield, Bedfordsh","location":"유럽","address":"Cranfield Campus College Road Cranfield MK43 0AL UK / Cranfield University at Shrivenham Shrivenh","phoneNumber":"+44 (0)1234 750111","faxNumber":null,"type":1,"univType1":null,"univType2":"대학교","univType3":null,"univType4":null,"establishedAt":"1946-01-25T00:00:00.000Z","count_majors":null,"count_students":null,"meta_competitiveness":null,"publishState":2,"updatedAt":"2020-03-11T18:34:14.000Z","createdAt":"2020-03-04T20:13:07.000Z","default_1_bannerImage":null,"default_1_bannerImageMobile":null,"default_2_bannerImage":null,"default_2_bannerImageMobile":null,"default_3_bannerImage":null,"default_3_bannerImageMobile":null}}
