Research Support Administrator (Post Award)

This role will be based on the university campus with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Are you hard working with an eye for detail? Do you have administrative experience working in a busy office environment ideally in a research support or finance role? Do you want to join a team that is committed to supporting the strategic objectives and research culture of the newly created Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences?

We are looking for a professional and proactive individual to provide high quality, customer focussed, post-award research support to our Faculty Research Office (FRO). You will work closely with the Senior Research Support Administrator (Post-Award) and Principal Investigators to support the provision of grants management and financial administration within the FRO, with particular responsibility for the post-award process. You will be part of the University's Research Operations service, but will be deployed to the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences and will report to the Senior Research Support Administrator (Post-Award).

You will have substantial experience of working in a research support or finance role, be an excellent communicator and have excellent organisation skills and an understanding of managing projects and budgets with the ability to work effectively to tight deadlines. Experience of advising on budget management is desirable.
