We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Research Project Assistant to support the Hearing Health Theme of the NIHR Manchester BRC and Manchester Centre for Audiology and Deafness (ManCAD), based in the School of Health Sciences at the University of Manchester.

You will be responsible for providing high quality day-to-day project support and tasks through all stages of the research cycle. Responsibilities will be varied and will require flexibility and the ability to learn and carry out administrative processes in a busy research environment. Initially you will be supporting a research project funded by the British Tinnitus Association (BTA) and will be making appointments for participants, managing participant payment, and organizing locations at which a mobile testing unit can be set up for testing in and around the greater Manchester area, amongst other project-specific administrative duties. Once this project is complete, you will support other researchers with project administration including the running of a volunteer database.

The successful applicant will have experience of working in administration, preferably within the university. Experience of working in a research group is desirable but not essential as training can be given.

The School is strongly committed to promoting equality and diversity, including the Athena SWAN charter for gender equality in higher education. The School holds a Silver Award which recognises their good practice in relation to gender; including flexible working arrangements, family-friendly policies, and support to allow staff achieve a good work-life balance. We particularly welcome applications from women for this post. Appointment will always be made on merit. For further information, please visit: https://www.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/about/equality/.
