We have exciting opportunities for candidates seeking to develop professional administration and customer service skills within the higher education sector, or as a secondment opportunity for internal candidates, to join the Postgraduate Research (PGR) Team supporting Professional Doctorates programmes located on the UEA campus.

The PGR Team supports many aspects of the University's postgraduate research education provision, including PGR Admissions, Doctoral Training Partnerships and postgraduate research student skills support.

You will lead by example, promoting a culture of excellence in customer service and continuous improvement.

You will work closely with School and Faculty PGR leads, academic supervisors and Graduate Schools and support PGR regulatory and quality assurance activity, on behalf of the University.
