Senior Research Excellence Framework (REF) Policy and Engagement Advisor

Research England

Salary: £46,743 per annum | UKRI Band E | Closing date: 14th July 2026

Hours: Full time (Hybrid working available)

Contract Type: Fixed-term until June 2030

Location: Westward House, Lime Kiln Close, Stoke Gifford, Bristol, BS34 8SR

The Research Excellence Framework (REF) is the system for assessing the quality of research in UK higher education institutions, with the most recent exercise concluding in 2021. It is a peer review assessment process involving submissions from higher education institutions across the UK. The REF is delivered by Research England on behalf of the four UK higher education funding bodies (Scottish Funding Council, Higher Education Funding Council for Wales, Department of the Economy Northern Ireland). Research England is a council within UK Research and Innovation.

REF is a fast-moving exercise managing a wide range of policy areas, expert panel members that span all research disciplines and types of research outputs. Key to our success will be close team working and supporting each other through peak periods. Joining our team provides a great deal of opportunity to learn and develop.

Purpose

Are you looking for a new challenge? An opportunity to work on a major, high-profile, project in a close-knit team and a fast-paced environment? Do you want to use your knowledge and skills in an agile way across a broad range of focus areas, learning new things and innovating along the way? Do you want to learn about the UK’s different funding bodies, and work with some of the most highly respected people across the UK’s research community? Then this may be the opportunity for you!

Research England and the UK’s other funding bodies undertake periodic assessments of research quality to inform their funding allocations and to provide quality assurance as to how these funds are spent. REF 2021 was the second REF and the sixth national exercise in broadly its present form. 157 Higher Education Institutions submitted returns to REF 2021, with assessment taking place across 34 disciplinary units of assessment.

REF 2029 is gearing up to publish the final guidance and criteria for this assessment exercise, before moving into the submissions phase from later in 2026 where will be supporting and collaborating with both universities and our expert panels as they make their preparations. From late 2028, we will then enter the assessment phase of the exercise, supporting 1200 panel members to assess submissions made by universities across the UK.

You will have experience of working in a policy field or strategy field and be keenly aware of the importance of stakeholder engagement to successful policy and strategy development.

This role will support the effective implementation of the Research Excellence Framework by leading and managing the delivery of policy areas key to the exercise, briefings, and related community engagement.
