Academic Administrator

Banbury Road, Oxford, OX2 6PE

The School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography seeks to appoint an Academic Administrator to take overall responsibility for the administration of the School's graduate taught courses and DPhils and for ensuring smooth liaison with the School’s shared graduate programmes and undergraduate provision. This is an excellent opportunity for someone interested in managing and helping to shape the whole graduate student pathway from admissions to final examinations. 

This is a crucial and complex role involving strategic level advice, process management and practical, day-to-day operational activities. The Academic Administrator line manages a team of two administrators and will be expected to be as much hands-on as strategic. They will also need to engage proactively with academic staff and the rest of the School’s administrative team.

You will have experience of academic administration, strong problem-solving skills, with a pro-active and flexible approach to work and a commitment to continuous improvement. A solid understanding of the Higher Education context is essential.

For informal inquiries about the role, please contact: Catherine Lieben, Head of Administration & Finance, catherine.lieben@anthro.ox.ac.uk.

The deadline for applications is 12 noon on Monday 14th July.

We expect to hold interviews in the week commencing 28th July 2025.
