We are looking for a friendly, engaging, enthusiastic person to join the Faculty of Science Research and Knowledge Exchange (RKE) team. You will work together with Hub colleagues and the wider Faculty RKE team, providing administrative support and contributing to the support elements of the research lifecycle. You will provide administrative support to academic and research staff applying for and managing research grants.
The post is primarily based on the University Park Campus.

As a Research Administrator you will:

• Provide administrative support for pre- and post-award activity related to bids and grants within your hub.
• Receive and respond to internal and external queries, providing advice and resolving both simple and complex issues.
• Support in life research activity for their hub; this could include organising meetings or events in partnership with dedicated central services.
• Prepare, coordinate, and minute committees, meetings or other collective activity, following up on actions and managing documentation.

And you will bring:

• Excellent oral and written communication and numeracy skills.
• The ability to work independently to resolve complex queries whilst adhering to deadlines.
• Accuracy, reliability and the willingness and adaptability to learn new skills and procedures.
