Research Support Officer (FBSFO1093)

Are you customer focussed and excited about delivering an outstanding service to customers? Do you have experience of providing financial and administrative support in addition to exceptional organisational skills? Do you want to join a team supporting academics with research grant management? 

We have an opportunity for an enthusiastic and proactive individual to join our Faculty Research Office. You will provide high quality, customer-focused research support contributing to the strategic objectives and research culture of the Faculty. In particular, you will support the development of funding applications, provide financial administration and as appropriate, will assist with grant management.

You will have excellent numeracy skills combined with experience of preparing, analysing and presenting financial information accurately and methodically. You will also have excellent organisational skills with the ability to prioritise and balance workloads, deliver results and meet deadlines under pressure.
