We are seeking

to recruit an enthusiastic and highly organised Grants Assistant to support the Grants Manager (Pre-Award) and the Research Grants Manager (Post-Award) in the management of the department’s increasing grant portfolio. You will be based within the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS) located at the Botnar Research Centre, Oxford.

longer position within the department, including a continuation of the planned training
programme with the potential for regrading/progression within the Department and University as

Research Grant Management or Finance Management.

• Introduction to Research Management and Administration at Oxford

You will advise PIs of sponsor guidelines and liaise with Research Services to ensure successful application submission as well as distributing information about funding opportunities.

You must be educated to at least A level standard (or equivalent) with GCSE grade C or above (or equivalent) in Maths & English. You will have the ability to analyse, interpret and respond effectively to detailed written documentation and prioritise and manage multiple projects with competing deadlines. Excellent IT skills, with knowledge and experience of MS Office applications is also essential. A working knowledge and understanding of the needs of an academic research environment is desirable.
