Jan 7, 2020 at 8:24 comment added stevew Thanks all for your reply. My brother happens to be a lawyer and I've clarified with him that the clause should only apply to work-related activities. I'm guessing that means I wouldn't have to name my work as my affiliation?

Jan 6, 2020 at 18:29 comment added Bryan Krause @stevew What does your university say? At my institution, we have to disclose to the institution any outside activites of a certain scope; full time work would definitely be included. Full time work with an IP clause that broad would definitely DEFINITELY be included, and would likely preclude you from doing research at the university without a modification of those terms, since they are almost certainly at odds with the terms of the work you do at the university and the mission of the university.

Jan 6, 2020 at 12:37 comment added wimi @stevew this is tricky. You might want to add that information to your question.
Jan 6, 2020 at 12:34 comment added DCTLib @stevew That sounds quite problematic. Depending on the legal context (country, ...), this would prevent you from publishing work that you haven't finished before your employment started. You may need to get a permission from your current employer to publish your results.
Jan 6, 2020 at 12:31 comment added stevew The IP clause of my contract is very broad. I'm effectively assigning "all present and future IP rights" during the course of my employment to my employer, whether "in whole or in part, alone or in conjunction with others, using work systems or not, during or outside of normal work hours"
