The role

Northeastern University London (NU London) is the UK's newest university and the

European campus of Northeastern University - a large, tier 1 research-intensive university

in the US. NU London is rapidly expanding its research base with a new PhD programme

and strategic research initiatives.

Are you enthusiastic about academic research and ready to leverage your organisational

skills in a dynamic setting? We are seeking a detail-oriented and proactive individual to

play a crucial role in supporting our research initiatives across the institution. NU London

is looking for a Research Administrative Assistant to be the key point of contact to assist

the Director of the Doctoral School, Research and Knowledge Exchange (KE) Services

and the Associate Dean for Research and KE. 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. This

role is required to undertake first aid and fire warden training and duties.

The successful candidate will work closely with academics, students, and professional

services such as finance, HR, research services, facilities, IT, and student support, as well

as Northeastern University colleagues located in the US. The position requires strong

communication and organisational skills to coordinate with stakeholders, ensuring

effective dissemination of information and fostering a collaborative research environment.

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.

Due to the nature of the role, hybrid working will not be an option for this position.
