Research Support Officer

This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner.

We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

We are looking for a professional and proactive individual who will provide high quality, customer-focussed research support from within the Faculty Research & Innovation Office (FRIO) based within the Faculty of Biological Sciences. You will have the opportunity to make a valuable and significant contribution to the FRIO team and the Faculty at a time of significant change.

You will work within a small team of Senior Research Administrators and Grants Officers, to support costings and applications for research funding and the administration of awarded research projects. You will also support the FRIO management team in the accurate reporting of research activity through the maintenance of records and the management of administrative and financial functions.

With experience of working in a financial, customer focussed administrative role, you will have excellent numerical and organisational skills. A positive outlook, strong communication skills, ability to work to deadlines and an understanding of prioritising tasks are essential, as is experience of working with costings and budgets.

• 26 days holiday plus 16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – that’s 42 days a year!
