We are looking for an enthusiastic person to join the Research Services Office, in our Post Award Team.

The Research Services Office is part of the University’s Research and Enterprise Services Division. It provides expert advice, guidance and administrative support to Lancaster’s research community in the development of bids for externally funded research and the administration of successfully awarded grants and contracts. The team provides a range of research support activities at both pre- and post-award including advice on funders’ terms and conditions, proposal preparation, costing and pricing, post-award grant administration for research grants and contracts from a diverse range of researcher funders.

You should have experience of providing excellent administrative support; some financial administration experience and have the confidence to use software packages to complete tasks quickly and accurately within strict deadlines.

You should also have excellent communication skills and a commitment to providing high standards of customer service. You should be self-motivated and keen to develop new skills which will be supported by peers and managers.

The team works flexibly and is using a hybrid approach to working on campus and at home, although we would expect the successful candidate to be on campus more during the initial training period.
