#SETU

South East Technological University (SETU) is one of Ireland’s highest performing higher educating institutions when it comes to research and innovation. The complexity of the SETU research and innovation ecosystem requires compliance with standards of research integrity and increased vigilance around research security and export controls. SETU aims to ensure that all of its research activity aligns with the European code of conduct for Research Integrity, National Policy Statement on Ensuring Research Integrity and Research Security in Ireland as well as relevant legislation and the policies and procedures of the University.

The Research Integrity and Security Officer (RISO) is to play a key role in supporting the responsible conduct of research at SETU, in line with the institutional strategy, national and international best practice.

The RISO will have significant experience in the conduct of research and of research security measures in an academic institution. The appointee will be expected to develop new policies and processes and to provide training to ensure implementation of existing and future policies and processes relevant to research integrity, research security (including export controls) and good research conduct. This role will involve training and dealing with central support officers, SETU research staff and Postgraduate research students. The appointee will be responsible for dealing with complaints regarding research misconduct. The RISO will also be responsible for reporting to internal and external stakeholders.
