Research Funding Associate

Found in: beBee S GB - 2 weeks ago


Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

The University of Oxford is a stimulating work environment, and 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.

Research Services is one of the key Professional Services Departments supporting Oxford’s research and innovation community. Our values include teamwork, professionalism, continuous improvement, empathy, respect and trust.

As a Research Funding Associate, you will be part of a collaborative and supportive team. You will play an important role in enabling and supporting research grant activity that underpins funding for research across the University. This role is an ideal entry point for a career in research support at the University of Oxford.

What We Offer

As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees’ wellbeing and this is reflected in the range of benefits that we offer including 

  • An excellent contributory pension scheme
  • 38 days annual leave
  • A comprehensive range of childcare services
  • Family leave schemes
  • Cycle loan scheme
  • Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans
  • Membership of a variety of social and sports clubs

Hybrid working is available with the working pattern to be discussed at interview.

About the Role

The Research Funding Team provides expert support for research grant preparation, submission, acceptance and amendment across all Divisions, Departments and Faculties of the University. As a Research Funding Associate, you will provide guidance to members of the University on research funding opportunities; advice and training on the preparation, submission and acceptance of research grant applications; and guidance on quality assurance and institutional risk criteria relevant to research funding.

You will develop excellent, close and proactive working relations with Departments across the University, and you will work closely with team colleagues while managing your own portfolio of activities.

About You

To be successful in this varied and interesting role, you will need to enjoy working effectively in a deadline driven environment. You will be happy managing your own work while at the same time working closely with others to ensure consistently effective team performance. High quality customer service will be important to you and you will have excellent communication skills.

Previous experience of supporting research funding requests and awards in an academic environment would be helpful but most important will be your enthusiasm to learn, willingness to take on new challenges and your ability to quickly build strong working relationships.

Full training will be given and we strongly support ongoing professional development.

Application Process

For an informal chat about the role please contact Zoe Lee by MS Teams or email: Zoe.Lee@admin.ox.ac.uk

You will be required to upload a covering letter/supporting statement, CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.

The closing date for applications is noon on Monday 22 April.

Interviews will take place during week commencing 6 May and will be face to face in Oxford.
