Durham, Durham, United Kingdom Durham University Full time

This is an exciting time to join the Faculty of Arts & Humanities Research Team as we launch and develop the new 'Transformative Humanities' framework for the Faculty. Research lies at the centre of Arts and Humanities at Durham, from our research-led teaching to our individual and collaborative research. Our research environment is lively, cross-disciplinary and articulated through a rich array of activities, from seminars and conferences to performances and public events.

The successful applicant will be a key member of a high performing team, which supports the administration of the research environment across the Faculty. The post holder will work closely with the Senior Research Administrators and the Deputy Executive Dean for Research. They will also work with colleagues in our seven departments and other University teams including Research Innovation Service, Marketing and Communications, and Finance and Procurement. The team works in a hybrid manner and have an office on the World Heritage Site Durham.

Responsibilities will include: day to day diary management for the Deputy Executive Dean (Research); acting as first point of contact for the team inbox; monitoring and supporting work undertaken by the Faculty Filmmaker in Residence; assisting with research processes including research leave and internal funding competitions; website and SharePoint page maintenance; organising and supporting Faculty, departmental and research centre events; organising and minuting Faculty committee meetings; contributing to process improvement projects.

While the focus of this position is to carry out administrative responsibilities, this varied role offers opportunities to develop skills and attributes such as using initiative, taking responsibility for one's own work, problem-solving, collaborating with team members and academic staff and engaging with creative projects. Such skills are important for career development.
