Research Governance Systems Officer
About The Role
Ethics@Bath, our central ethics management system, has already been successfully launched and is now embedded as the primary tool for managing ethical review processes across the University.
We are also enhancing our use of ReDA to support stronger oversight of clinical studies, ensuring that study registration, monitoring and reporting are well‑governed and aligned with regulatory requirements.
In addition, we are preparing to launch a new digital solution that will support the management of export control licences, risk assessments, and a wider range of research‑related compliance processes. Together, these systems will enable a more connected, efficient, and user‑friendly research governance environment.
