David Watson
Research Excellence Framework (REF) Officer
I am a Research Excellence Framework (REF) Officer, supporting the University’s REF2029 submission across Main Panel A, with particular responsibility for Units of Assessment 2 and 5. In this role, I work closely with departments across the Medical Sciences Division (MSD) as well as MPLS, alongside the Research Evaluation Manager and colleagues in the MSDO team.
I joined the Medical Sciences Divisional Office in 2026. Prior to this, I worked at the Bodleian Libraries within the ORA repository and Open Scholarship Support team, where I supported research dissemination and open access.'
