We are excited to offer an opportunity for a Project Administrator for the Cybersecurity Research and Networking Environment (CRANE) Project. Based in central Oxford, the successful candidate will be reporting to the CRANE Programme Manager. 

CRANE is an EPSRC-funded national ‘network plus’ designed to strengthen the UK Cyber Security Research Community. It will integrate researchers, business, government, and third sector organisations around contemporary research challenges. The network will organise a variety of workshops and meetings, offer small grants to researchers and act as a single ‘point of contact' for UK cyber security research. It will leave a lasting legacy by enabling the creation of a new inter-disciplinary permanent learned society. 

CRANE will develop a rigorous community-led methodology and use it to identify emerging global trends and national strengths in cyber security. It will support career development and equality of voice of diverse researchers able to understand and exploit the cross-disciplinary nature of our subject. The CRANE community will be inclusive, regionally and nationally, through Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and shared events with local areas of interest and through EDI improvement. 

The Project Administrator will join a committed team of professional services staff who ensure the smooth running of the network and its associated activities.  The post-holder will be responsible for supporting the day-to-day administration of the network.  They will maintain monitoring systems, support event arrangements and facilitate communication with the network including liaising with internal and external stakeholders. 

The role will be hybrid. Working pattern will be agreed with the line manager.
