Administration and Project Support Officer

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

The Energy Demand Research Centre (EDRC) has a mission to accelerate the delivery of the UK’s net zero commitments by unlocking the potential of solutions to reduce energy demand as part of a transition to a fairer and healthier society. This post is to provide support to two of the five research themes led from the Institute for Transport Studies. The Place theme (led by Prof. Greg Marsden) explores how a more locally sensitive set of solutions could deliver more rapid and relevant change. The Governance theme (led by Prof. Kate Pangbourne) explores how to change decision-making processes to accelerate delivery. 

We are looking for an Administration and Project Support Officer to join the EDRC team at Leeds. As a core member of the team, you will have a varied role liaising with the wider EDRC operations team led by University of Birmingham and supporting the effective operations and activities of the Place and Governance themes based at ITS. 

We are looking for an organised and enthusiastic team player to support the organisation and delivery of a wide range of online, hybrid, and in-person meetings and events, support research delivery, and report and promote research outputs as well as linking our contributions to the wider Centre team.
