About us

UCL is a world-leading research-intensive university, often ranked in the top ten in the world, with an annual turnover of well over £1 billion. Our research and innovation continue to grow in scale and complexity with record levels of research income and impact achieved last year.

You'll also provide guidance and advice to academic departments, Centre Directors, Supervisors and partner organisations on processes, procedures and best practice regarding the financial management and administration of the Doctoral Training Accounts, as well as producing timely reporting of financial statements.

A full range of duties can be found on the attached job description.
