This will support the delivery of high-quality papers, reports, articles, presentations and other scientific outputs to our clients and other target audiences. Where required, you will also assist in the preparation, formatting and delivery of commercial and internal reports.
You will be working collaboratively, especially with the other members of the Science Publication Office team, and with our scientists and business support staff.

To be successful in this role, the minimum qualifications required are:

• you will have five years’ experience in an administration role or similar function that includes maintenance of database and spreadsheet software applications and document production.
