Cambridge, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

The Cambridge Centre for Advanced Research and Education (CARES) was established in 2013 as the University of Cambridge's first research centre outside the UK. It brings together researchers from the University of Cambridge, Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore to work on problems relevant to Singapore and the world at large. Cambridge CARES is funded by the Singapore government through its Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE).

CARES is a busy research centre responsible for the support of the operational delivery of over 150 researchers and with current managed funds of S$60m (£32.5m). Research income from the Singapore National Research Foundation's CREATE programme, government-industry partnerships and industry, continues to grow. The pursuit of strong international research collaborations in Singapore demonstrates its alignment to the University of Cambridge mission to contribute to society through the pursuit of education, learning and research at the highest international levels of excellence. CARES maintains strong links with the Cambridge Colleges and the University as a whole, creating further opportunities for students and researchers in South East Asia and Cambridge to engage in multi-disciplinary international collaborations. The University of Cambridge had set out to seek out excellence and setting up enduring and mutually beneficial collaborations to establish strategic partnerships across the globe, of which CARES is both an example and has become an inextricable part of the University's make-up. Cambridge researchers are working alongside collaborators in Singapore universities and other research institutions on problems such as research in carbon reduction and the science of learning to underpin preparations for a better future, which is both relevant to Singapore and the world at large.

The Chief of Staff works as part of the CARES leadership team (with the CARES Director) to ensure the smooth running of the University of Cambridge's research centre in Singapore. The postholder has operational responsibility for all day-to
- day non-academic activities of the centre, including research grant pre
- and post¿ award activities, people management, financial management, and establishing and maintaining partnerships with funders and collaborating institutions. The role holder is expected to fulfil decisions made by the CARES Governing Board, working with the CARES Director, CARES Governing Board and staff members to ensure that the organisational mission is fulfilled operationally and strategically. The post-holder leads the multi-functional CARES Support Team (currently 12 based in Singapore and UK) supporting the research operations at the centre.

This position could be well suited to University of Cambridge administrators seeking a new challenge with the rare opportunity to work in an international environment abroad to further the University's international research ambitions; in such cases the position is offered as an internal secondment.

Please note that this position is based 100% in Singapore. The CARES Chief of Staff will be seconded full-time to Singapore and will be paid by CARES Ltd in Singapore Dollars. The Singapore salary will be competitive, taking into account local salary benchmarks.

Limited funding: The funds for this post are available until 28th February 2027 in the first instance.

Closing Date: 20th July 2023. The interview dates for the role will take place in two stages during late July and early August 2023.

The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
