We have an exciting opportunity to join the Graduate Studies Support team at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford.
This is a part-time, fixed-term role for three years, starting 1 September 2025, working 30 hours per week over three or four days. You will be based in the Oxford Internet Institute, but there is potential for some remote working during full term and increased flexibility outside term time.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to build their career in university administration within a world-leading research environment. The role is varied allowing you to develop a broad skill set and work as part of a friendly and collaborative team that values initiative, allowing your contributions to improve the experience for students and faculty.
You will be responsible for providing administrative support for the delivery of the OII’s MSc programmes, including timetabling, managing course enrolments, supporting with induction and feedback processes, and supporting faculty and students with enquiries, teaching arrangements, and various digital learning tools. Working closely with the wider Graduate Studies Support team, you’ll also support key departmental events, meetings and committees.
You will have strong administrative experience, excellent communication skills, and a proactive, detail-oriented approach to your work. You’ll be confident managing a varied workload with competing priorities, and able to work both independently and collaboratively. Strong IT skills and the ability to quickly learn new systems are essential.
