The University of Oxford is a stimulating work environment, which enjoys an international reputation as a world-class centre of excellence. Our research plays a key role in tackling many global challenges, from reducing our carbon emissions to developing vaccines during a pandemic.
The Doctoral Training Centre offers 4-year interdisciplinary PhD (DPhil) degrees to students of outstanding quality and provides innovative onsite training for around 100 PhD students per year before they embark on the substantive research phase of the programmes in departments across the University, with collaborative institutions, or with industrial partners, with the funding held and managed by the DTC throughout the 4-years of study.
The DTC is a dynamic environment which evolves organically according to the research landscape, responding to scientific, industrial and social demand.
The Grants and Studentship Manager will be responsible for the pre- and post-award activities of high value and high-profile studentship and industry funding held by the Doctoral Training Centre.

This exciting new post has been created in response to the ongoing success in funding applications for programmes based within the Doctoral Training Centre. As a valued member of our team and working closely with the Centre Manager, the Centre Director, Academic Programme Directors and Programme Managers, the postholder will be responsible for managing all aspects of several large UKRI grants totalling around £60 million, plus the industrial and partner funding associated with the programmes, with support from other team members.
The Grants and Studentship Manager will provide expertise into future funding opportunities identified by the Senior Leadership Team, producing often complex financial models as required and providing insightful guidance on financial structures, processes and regulations.
They will work closely with colleagues in MPLS Division on long and short-term planning and will have additional operational line management support from the MPLS Finance Manager.
