Lancaster, United Kingdom Lancaster University Full time

**Part-time 0.50 fte - 18.25 hours**

This exciting new role has been created to support and expand the pipeline of Lancaster’s Research Commercialisation activity to generate opportunities for external collaboration and impact. We are keen to continue the upward trajectory in this space that we have seen over the last few years. The Research Commercialisation Administrator will be a key part of a small team that works with academic colleagues across campus and a wide range of professional Knowledge Exchange (KE), Research Development and Support (RDS) and Research Impact (RI) staff.

You will have a key part to play in undertaking administration associated with the Research Commercialisation Team including accurate record keeping, financial monitoring, organisation of meetings and events and updating Research Commercialisation activities using the University’s Knowledge Exchange and Engagement Portal (KEEP) CRM.

The Research Commercialisation Administrator will also be expected to support the ongoing management of the University Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio including liaison with inventors and external suppliers to ensure accurate and timely submission of all necessary documentation.

We are looking to appoint an individual who can grow into the role, with a keen interest in learning more about university research commercialisation. A basic understanding of Patenting and IP protection processes is desirable, but there will be opportunities for learning and development once in post through internal and where appropriate external support.

Excellent interpersonal and communications skills with the ability to develop effective professional relationships with colleagues and external organisations are essential as is a high level of proficiency with MS Office systems. We are looking for someone who is self-motivated, can work flexibly and independently where necessary and contribute to a positive working environment in the Research Commercialisation Team and wider division.

We warmly welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of their age, religion, gender identity or expression, race, disability or sexual orientation, and are committed to promoting diversity, and equality of opportunity. As a truly global and inclusive university, it is no surprise that Lancaster University is committed to creating an environment where everyone can thrive and fulfil their potential. Students from over one hundred countries make up our diverse campus and over half of our staff come from outside of the UK. Lancaster is an open and welcoming community that values equality and diversity. Our promotion of global values ensures Lancaster is a welcoming environment for all students and staff.

We are proactive in engagement with our staff to help us to understand the lived experiences of our university community and to understand how we are doing in creating a fairer and more inclusive University. Our multi-faith Chaplaincy Centre is a welcoming place for people of all faiths and none. It includes facilities for the Baha'i, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Islam and Jewish faiths and also a Muslim Prayer Room.

We will encourage flexible working and elements of remote working given the nature of the role, learning from our experience during the pandemic in ensuring the role holder is well supported in doing so.
