Cambridge, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit is seeking a motivated individual to join our Professional Services Team as a Postgraduate Coordinator. In this role, you will be responsible for coordinating the journey of postgraduates through the department, with responsibility for admissions, organisation of supervisions and all other aspects of postgraduate student administration. This will include administering stipends, recording intermissions, updating department records and organising inductions for each year's incoming cohort. This role will also involve some HR duties, primarily covering for the HR Coordinator in their absence and providing HR administration as appropriate.

Collaboration is essential in this position; you will work alongside academic colleagues belonging to the local Postgraduate Management Committee, as well as other administrative staff, such as the HR and Finance Coordinators, MPhil Course Coordinator and Unit Manager.

We are looking for a flexible, resourceful individual who has excellent communication skills and meticulous attention to detail. You will be a proficient user of Microsoft Office, experience of CAMSIS and other University systems such as CHRIS would be an advantage. Experience of working in a Higher Education environment would also be desirable but more important is the ability to learn new skills and develop a knowledge of University/Departmental policies in order to be able to offer advice to others as required.

You will be organised and be able to prioritise your own workload, manage tight deadlines, and work independently using your own initiative, but you will know when to refer matters to others and when to consult on your ideas. We are looking for someone who will be able to contribute actively as a member of a team, and will build positive working relationships within the Department and University.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an individual with excellent administrative experience to develop new strategic skills in a varied and busy position.

Fixed Term until 31st March 2027.

The interview date for the role is: To be confirmed

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