The role provides a blend of autonomy and collaboration, contributing to the advancement of academic excellence. Responsibilities would include signposting to other University departments, managing student reviews, supporting student travel requests, capturing and analysing data, organising and collaborating with other teams on events - including PhD welcome weeks, assisting with communications, signposting to resources, helping with visitor logistics and helping to maintain the smooth running of Moretown as the University’s current research centre.

An ability to learn and implement new administrative processes will be essential as we continue to enhance efficiency and effectiveness within our research initiatives. The position would suit an individual who is both self-sufficient and can work collaboratively. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to make a meaningful impact in a vibrant academic setting, with ample opportunities for professional growth and development.
