As Programme Manager, you will be responsible for the overall administrative and financial management of the SABS R3 Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) and play a vital role in the continued success of this enterprise, working in collaboration with academic and administrative colleagues across the University, UKRI funding bodies and industrial partners.
