Research Staff Representation

Department or faculty research staff and colleges representatives act as a two-way link between their wider peer group and the University's governance structure. 

Researchers also join key University committees, including Council, People Committee, Research & Innovation Committee. 

For further information and the contact details of your representatives on these groups, please see - Researcher Representatives on other University Committees

If you are interested in joining a committee or working group, please see - Current Opportunities to join Committees and Working Groups as a Researcher Representative.

Please use the Divisional tab (for University staff) or Colleges tab above to find your representative.

College Researcher Representatives

The college representatives sit on the Research Staff Consultation Group and will also work with Sir Tim Hitchins, the College Advocate for Researchers, and the Researcher Hub. Together they will introduce a network of researcher representatives across the colleges, and develop a transparent selection process for college researcher representatives.

If you are a researcher at one of the colleges and would like to know more, please contact Mereyem directly.
