But what sets us apart is why those things matter and how you’ll achieve them. Why? Griffith brings together exceptional minds like yours from across the globe and from all walks of life. Here, we do incredible work, questioning and challenging, always in the pursuit of excellence.  Job Description Griffith University is recognised as a comprehensive research-intensive university, deploying a transformational research vision in recent years that has delivered an exponential uplift in research metrics and redefined how we support research. With our recently published Research and Innovation Plan (2025-2030) we are now poised to enter a new era – one where we scale our efforts, deepen our impact and lead with purpose; it is an exciting time to be a research leader at Griffith University. The Office for Research drives the University’s research agenda by providing end-to-end research management support across the research lifecycle. Griffith’s Office for Research has tactically combined research functions that are often separated in other universities, to streamline our end-to-end systems and processes, providing a fully integrated model of embedded and comprehensive research support.

The next Director of Griffith’s Office for Research can demonstrate their success in establishing systems, policies and procedures underpinning the delivery of client-focussed services that enhance institutional performance. The successful candidate will be a high achieving individual with strategic and dynamic leadership experience, driving performance at the nexus of private and public sectors.
