Research Administrator (Post Award)

This post was previously advertised in December 2025 job ref CSFIN1364. Applications submitted during that process were fully assessed, and therefore we are unable to accept repeat applications.

This role will be based on the University campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Are you hard working with an eye for detail? Do you have experience working in a busy office environment in a research funding or finance role? Do you want to join a team that is committed to supporting the strategic objectives and research outcomes of the Faculty of Environment? 

We are looking for a professional and proactive individual to provide high-quality, customer focussed post-award finance support with our Faculty Research Office. With substantial finance experience, you will be an excellent communicator and will have strong analytical, problem-solving and organisational skills, with the ability to work effectively to tight deadlines.

Please note that due to Home Office visa requirements, this role may only be suitable for first-time Skilled Worker visa applicants if they are eligible for salary concessions. For more information please visit: www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa.
