Building on the Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Data-Driven Healthcare (DRIVE-Health; DRIVE-Health.org.uk) four-year pilot, the new EPSRC CDT in DRIVE-Health will train a minimum of 85 PhD students in health data science over five cohorts in the next 8 years. Co-created with NHS Trusts, national and international industry and charity partners, DRIVE-Health will deliver impactful research to enable health data science and tech skills for the future. 

In partnership with the CDT Manager, you will undertake a range of administration tasks supporting the student lifecycle processes from pre-enrolment activities, through induction and registration to graduation and beyond. You will work closely with the Core Management team (Co-Directors, Training Lead, Scientific Themes Leadership Team, Clinical Lead, and PPI and Engagement Lead) to provide high-quality administrative and day-to-day support to ensure the smooth running of all administrative activity in the Centre, and support the Communications and Engagement Manager in the delivery of EDI and training programmes. 

You will be working proactively across faculties and King’s central services (finance, student services, research management and innovation, IT, etc.) liaising with colleagues to support the management of our Centre. Reporting to the CDT Manager, you will have diverse responsibilities, including supporting various student data entry updates and maintaining student records. You will also assist with the administration of the DRIVE-Health studentship competitions, which involves processing applications, preparing shortlisting documents, and monitoring application statuses. Additionally, you will aid the CDT Manager in the management of the annual budgets for studentships, including the preparation of monthly forecasts. 

You will be responsible for supporting the work of the CDT EDI Lead and Communications and Engagement Manager in overseeing EDI practices in all areas of the CDT, e.g. recruitment, selecting PhD candidates, supervisor diversity, and delivering the CDT’s EDI action plan; as well as supporting the CDT Training Lead with administrative tasks to deliver the DRIVE-Health’s training programme.
