Are you interested in research and wanting to work for a research intensive university? 

Following on from our recent success in the Research Excellence Framework, the School of Education has an excellent opportunity for two Senior Operations Officers (Research) to help us build on this and support the achievement of our research strategy. 

You will work flexibly as part of a team to support the operational delivery and of the School’s world-leading research.

You will:

• develop, deliver, manage and coordinate support and activity across a range of research projects and related areas
• provide specialist support advice and guidance on operational processes and activities
• contribute to the development and continuous improvement of research related plans, policies and processes
• support the collection and preparation of information and documentation for operational management and quality assurance and enhancement purposes
• provide high-level administrative support to the School’s vibrant PGR community
• work closely and collaboratively with colleagues in the School, wider Faculty and Research and Innovation
• actively contribute to the Faculty’s professional services networks and communities of practice

You will need excellent interpersonal skills, work well in a team, be highly organised, flexible and able to thrive in a fast-paced and varied environment.  As someone who is self-motivated and has experience of contributing to projects and improving processes, you will help drive forward change and deliver excellent service.  Experience of working in a research environment would be a distinct advantage.  In return, you will be joining a very dynamic, focussed and enthusiastic team where we put continuing development and support for each person at the heart of what we do, so that everyone can flourish and do their best work.

Our success is delivered by our people. We are seeking individuals from the widest possible range of talents and backgrounds, and we will appoint not just based on past achievements, but also on your potential for the future.
