An exciting opportunity is available for an Officer in the newly formed Core Research Facility Department (CRF) at the University of Bath. 

This is a new and very varied role, and one which will be critical to help deliver the vision for this new Department. 

About the role

Working closely with the Head of Core Research Facility Operations, Director for Research Infrastructure and Facilities (RIF), and Professional Services teams across the University, you will enhance our CRF service delivery by overseeing and supporting key aspects of CRF Operations, including:

Together we are aiming to deliver a coordinated and sustainable research infrastructure, key to enabling and accelerating realisation of the University’s research strategy. 

You will need to work both independently and in project teams to deliver the required services, and will have frequent contact with academics, students, visitors, and Professional Services staff at all levels. 

The CRF Officer will report to the Director of Research Infrastructure & Facilities, working closely with the Head of Core Research Facility Operations, and will be an important part of the CRF Management team, which includes the CRF Leads. 

You will also be part of various project teams, including around CRF finances and marketing activities. This post is an open-ended, full-time position, with the option of several days per week of home working. 

With the challenges and opportunities of establishing a new Department, it is essential that you are an excellent problem solver, keen to identify additional service requirements or shortfalls, and can proactively use your judgement and creativity to investigate and resolve any non-standard problems. 

We are looking for a team player who has:

  • excellent people, communication and presentation skills
  • excellent IT skills, both for administrative and financial purposes
  • experience of marketing, and can produce communications to various audiences, using various different channels/media
  • experience of financial management and budget monitoring
  • attention to detail and great organisational skills
  • a positive and proactive outlook, with an ability to stay calm under pressure. 

And above all, a can-do attitude and desire to work as a team to deliver an excellent service to our varied stakeholder communities.
