This is an exciting time to join the Medical Research Foundation, as we prepare to launch our new five-year strategy. We are looking for an enthusiastic Grants Officer who will assist in the running of research funding competitions to ensure that only the very best research and very best researchers receive our support.

The Foundation's mission is to drive the life-changing advances of tomorrow, by laying the foundations for ground-breaking new discoveries today. We know that many health conditions are overlooked and underfunded, that new health threats will continue to arise, and that there will always be a need for high-quality, high impact medical research.

Reporting to our Research Manager, you will help us deliver our Research Strategy by helping to develop and deliver a range of funding schemes. Your main responsibilities will be to:

  • support the delivery of specific funding competitions, such as our funding on the Impact of Climate Change on Health and in Mental Health research
  • co-ordinate the peer review of applications ensuring delivery to best practice in terms of accuracy, impartiality and confidentiality
  • convene and support the awarding panel, including preparation of meeting papers, logistics of panel meetings and reports
  • be the first point of contact for enquiries from applicants and funded researchers
  • develop and maintain working relationships with grant holders
  • provide day-to-day administration for the research portfolio
  • review grant invoices
  • use our specialist grants management software to manage grant amendments, accurate documentation and invoice management
  • assist in the delivery of scientific workshops and award events
  • represent the charity at external events

    Who you are

    You are a motivated and enthusiastic individual who wants to develop a career in scientific and research management. You will be keen to get involved in projects aimed at achieving our ambitious research strategy. We would like to hear from you if you can:

    • demonstrate experience of working, studying or volunteering in a grant-giving or grant management role, or a research funding organisation, or a science-related environment
    • demonstrate an interest in scientific affairs or medical research.
    • communicate clearly in writing and verbally with colleagues, scientists and other stakeholders
    • demonstrate good analytical skills
    • work in an organised and methodical manner with excellent attention to detail
    • demonstrate strong planning, organising and time-management skills with the flexibility to respond to team priorities and unexpected changes
    • work on several projects with varying tasks concurrently
    • find solutions to problems by reviewing best practice elsewhere
    • demonstrate high level of IT skills, specifically excellent M/S Word, and Excel.
    • work confidently in a team and be self-motivated to work alone
    • provide excellent customer service.

      You may also hold a degree, preferably in life sciences.

      We will offer you

      We will offer a salary of between £32,000 and £35,000 depending on experience for a full-time 36-hour week (happy to consider part-time, min 0.8 FTE) and double-matched pension contributions up to 10% max employer contribution. We offer 30 days of annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata) per year, excellent financial, health and social benefits and an opportunity to join a dedicated team making a difference to human health. We value spending time working in-person to develop strong connections with each other and with our mission, therefore we all work from our London office for at least 50% of our week with the option to work remotely for the remainder.
