We are looking for an academic colleague from an MPLS department to become one of our MPLS representatives on the University Research and Innovation Committee (RIC).

It oversees a variety of strategic and operational matters relating to research, including the external research environment, REF, researcher development, research quality, and innovation. You can find out more about the work of RIC here, including terms of reference, current members, and sub-committees and advisory groups. 

Existing MPLS members are Professor Harish Bhaskaran (Department of Materials) and Professor Dermot O'Hare (Department of Chemistry).
