Research and Grants Administrator

at  University of Oxford

This is a varied role, principally providing administrative support for research to the Research and Grants Manager. The post will primarily support the preparation and submission of bids to a wide range of funders, working to strict deadlines. The post holder will circulate call opportunities, maintaining an accessible record on the Department’s intranet.
The role will also involve some support for post award activities such as maintaining a record of project reporting deadlines and requirements, flagging to appropriate staff when they are on the horizon. The post will also help collate staff applications for ethical review through the Department Research Ethics Committee (DREC).
Whilst some experience in research support is preferable, the role will provide an excellent training opportunity for an administrator with transferrable skills interested in a career in research administration.
The successful candidate should hold a GCSE (grade A-C) level in English and Maths, or equivalent work experience. They will have either (a) Research administration experience, funding body experience, or experience of applying for funding, or (b) comparable, significant experience of another area of administration. They will also have high level of computer literacy with experience of using Microsoft Office and a willingness to learn new systems.
