Research Culture and Development Officer

The University of Bath is committed to an ambitious action plan to continually improve our research culture. 

As Research Culture and Development Officer, you'll be right at the heart of supporting change – coordinating a suite of development events and resources under a new Academy for early career researchers, and supporting governance structures, project plans, and finances that enable projects within the new Research Culture Action Plan to realise their planned benefits. 

You'll have the chance to work with diverse groups of experts and stakeholders across the university and use your organisational skills to support initiatives that move the dial on the cultural changes that matter most to our community. 

You will: 

• have excellent organisational skills and are great at keeping projects on track 
• be a great team-worker with an eye for detail 
• have experience of an administrative/coordination support role, with a good understanding of how to run a successful event, make payments and track finances
• enjoy updating and maintaining websites
• feel motivated by the idea of making a positive difference to the development of researchers, and to the culture that our research-related staff and students experience. 

You may also have an insight into higher education or research-related environments in other sectors.
