Job description

We need adaptable, positive and forward-thinking people to help UK universities stay safe and secure when collaborating internationally. The openness which drives our research sector also makes it a target. Hostile actors want to misappropriate cutting-edge discoveries and technologies, and they see the UKs open collaboration as an opportunity to do so. The Government wants to maintain the UKs position as a world leader in research and innovation, supporting researchers to work internationally whilst taking proportionate steps to safeguard our research from misuse. DSIT is the lead department for research security to address these challenges to research. The Research Collaboration Advice Team (RCAT) provides research institutions with a first point of contact for official advice about national security risks linked to their international research portfolio. Through engagement we support UK research institutions to better understand this complex threat, and how to protect themselves and their work.
