Recruitment for the REF 2029 sub-panel (for each Unit of Assessment including Politics and International Studies) members is now open.

REF 2029 encourages suitably qualified applicants from all backgrounds to apply and they are keen to hear from individuals who can bring unique perspectives to the panels, including experiences beyond academia and those with an understanding of diverse research practices, outputs, impacts and engagement practice.

More details, including criteria and how to apply are available on the REF 2029 website. Applications for sub-panel members are open until 28 April 2025.
