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:

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.
