About the role

The School is looking to appoint a School Research Officer (SRO) who will lead on postgraduate research programme administration and will provide high-quality and comprehensive administrative, budgetary, and research support to the School, working alongside the School Research Manager and academics to support the grant lifecycle from bid development to the day-to-day administration of awards.

The postgraduate research programme administration aspect of the role will include day-to-day administrative support for our postgraduate research programmes and collaborating closely with academic and student support teams to guarantee a seamless student experience.

This will include working with the departmental academic PGR leads to support the management and administration of the School's PhD programme and its students from admission to graduation, supporting students with registration, progression and day to day enquiries, keeping track of personal research funds, maintaining student records and supporting the relevant school and departmental committees.

The research and grant administration aspect of the role will include both post-award administration and pre-award support. Post award administration will include managing grant finances, booking travel, accommodation and meeting rooms, processing expense claims, and supporting the recruitment of research assistants to research projects. Pre-award administration will include helping staff members to prepare costs for research grant applications and supporting staff members with navigating the application process.

The SRO will be required to work closely with all relevant stakeholders and maintain up to date knowledge of programme and College regulations, providing accurate guidance to colleagues and students as required, and ensuring all assurance processes are followed. The role would be suited to someone who can manage multiple competing priorities, has good attention to detail, and can build and maintain effective working relationships with key stakeholders, including colleagues in Finance, Human Resources, Student Registry Services, and the Research Management & Innovation Directorate (RMID).

You will also be expected to develop your expertise in quality assurance and regulations, contribute to process improvements, and participate in professional networks dedicated to promoting best practices.

If you are someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, is committed to delivering high-quality services, and is interested in research and advancing postgraduate research education we encourage you to apply.

The post holder will be able to work as part of King's hybrid working model, with a minimum of two days per week in the office.

This is a full time post (35 hours per week), and you will be offered an indefinite contract.
