At the IoPPN, the second largest faculty of King’s College London, our staff and students work to transform care for people who are affected by mental health and neurological conditions, through world-class research, education, and training, and to serve our communities locally and globally. We are at the forefront of global mental health research and advancements in understanding of the human brain. Through our partnerships, we foster research and training in policy, prevention, treatment, and care locally and around the world. As a research-intensive faculty, fostering a positive collective research culture is imperative to ensuring our world leading research operates in an environment which encourages openness and collaboration. As leaders in our fields, we have a responsibility to promote and champion the tenets of research culture in all that we do, including staff development, open and reproducible science, CEDI and research integrity.

 

The IoPPN Research Culture Team, established in 2023, works across Culture, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion and Research Operations.

Working with the Senior CEDI Manager, Faculty Research Manager and Research Development Manager you will be responsible for continuing to drive Research Culture initiatives and activities across the IoPPN. As Research Culture Support Manager, you will create clear ownership, expertise and accountability for delivery of initiatives and improvements to Research Culture. You will also work with the King’s central Research Culture team and similar posts in other faculties to ensure King’s initiatives are communicated and embedded at the IoPPN and that examples of best practice are shared across the college.

 

If successful, you will champion positive research culture initiatives within the IoPPN building on work to date to identify, develop and disseminate case studies of best practice. You will build relationships with staff to maximise engagement in key research culture priorities and lead on the organisation and delivery of events that celebrate and educate Open Research practices and positive Research Culture. You will also review/monitor/evaluate efforts to improve research culture awareness and support and ensure cohesion across research culture initiatives to enable readiness for external assessment requests.
