Leicester, United Kingdom University of Leicester Full time

**About the role**:
In this role, you will support the continuing delivery of an established contract between the EOIP partners and the UK Space Agency (UKSA), in particular the award of grant funding to UK academic and industrial teams to develop the next generation of Earth Observation technologies. This role ensures the contractual integrity of all grants awarded by UKSA through Leicester, and the post holder will have specific responsibility for administration of EOIP grants.

For the majority of the role, you will be involved in initiating (after authorisation by UKSA), managing and tracking a portfolio of new and existing grants, following a procedure with our commercial contracts and post-award finance teams. This includes processing of invoices from Grant recipients and the EOIP partners, and liaising with the University finance department to ensure prompt settlement.

Grants are awarded through a series of calls and you will be involved in preparing and sending out call information as well as co-ordinating reviews of the proposals under the guidance of the Director. Calls are issued on average twice a year, but there may be additional calls at other times.

The role also includes providing support to other EOIP activities, such as the development of the EOIP website, operating the EOIP twitter account and supporting organisation of EOIP workshops and conferences, as time allows.

Based at Leicester’s main campus, you will report to both the EOIP Director (based at external partners, QinetiQ - contact will be by Teams and phone) and the co-director, Dr Josh Vande Hey.

Initially the post is funded until 31st March 2025, with the possibility of further funding until 31st March 2027.

**About you**: You will be well organised and self motivated, preferably with experience of working with commercial contracts in a busy customer-orientated environment and have good IT skills.
**Additional information**:
As part of the University’s ongoing commitment to professional development, this role will also be considered on a seconded basis for existing staff members. Please ensure this is discussed with your line manager prior to applying. More information regarding secondments can be found here.
