Ycede Administrator

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Researcher Development Team and help deliver real structural and cultural change that will enhance the opportunities and experience for postgraduate researchers (PGRs) from racially minoritized backgrounds nationwide. You will work collaboratively with both academic and professional services colleagues from across the University and from our partner institutions to support Sheffield’s lead role in an important new strategic initiative, the Yorkshire Consortium for Equity in Doctoral Education (YCEDE). This project targets both undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate research (PGR) students from racially minoritised backgrounds to close the gap in student success outcomes with a focus on progression to, and success in, postgraduate study. As part of YCEDE you will support Sheffield’s lead on enhancing the on-course PGR experience through our design and delivery of bespoke mentoring and events for PGRs.

The work will be diverse, involving communication and marketing of events, event organisation, liaising with event participants, monitoring of attendance and collecting feedback. You will also liaise with stakeholders from partner institutions, maintain relationships, report against project objectives and provide high quality administrative and clerical service.
