The University of Strathclyde has a commitment to boldness and innovation as part of its core institutional values, and we believe that our engagement with open research and repository development is a significant example of this. In furtherance of these values the Information Services Directorate of the University is seeking to appoint a Research Data Officer to join our Scholarly Publications & Research Data (SP&RD) team. This specialist role is key to supporting the University's strategic goals in Research Data Management and Open Access compliance. The post holder will lead the design and delivery of research data management and preservation services, ensuring researchers meet funder mandates and contributing to the University s research visibility and reputation. Applicants should have strong technical expertise in FAIR Principles, Archivematica, and PURE, alongside a deep understanding of national and international research data policies. The role involves providing expert advice, training, and hands-on support to researchers, collaborating across teams, and overseeing data deposit and preservation processes. The successful applicant must have expertise in digital library systems in a Higher Education, national library, or research-intensive environment, with repository experience seen as an advantage. Knowledge of repository management matters is essential, as well as current awareness of the challenges surrounding research information curation and data management/research administration. Specific experience of work in metadata standards and/or data integrity management issues is essential. You will be well organised, with an ability to manage and prioritise your own and others work, with a track record of delivering to deadlines. A first degree in a relevant subject, or equivalent relevant experience in a similar or related role is required, as is an awareness of wider research policy issues in an HE environment. A postgraduate LIS or Information Management qualification or the equivalent is desirable. Some aspects of the role may require a criminal record check via the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) to facilitate access to sensitive personal data.
