Research Accounts Officer (HY0239)

We have an opportunity to join a new high-impact research office being established in the Faculty of Health Sciences as a Research Accounts Officer.

The Faculty was formed in 2017 and consists of three schools: Life Sciences, Health and Social Work and the Hull-based elements of the Hull York Medical School (a partnership with the University of York).  We are a new and ambitious organisation and our research interests span biomedical, applied health, clinical specialities and health technology. The Faculty has recently established an Institute for Clinical and Applied Health Research, accompanied by a major investment in academic & clinical academic staff, the establishment of strong methods and research support infrastructure and occupation of the brand new Allam Medical Building.

This is a brand new post, supporting post-award financial monitoring of research grants and contracts to maximise our research income and contribution. You will work with principal investigators and their research administrators to review budgets and expenditure, developing processes and procedures for day-to-day research finance administration. You will promote understanding of financial reporting requirements and provide training as needed.   You will also work closely with the Faculty Finance Team to support forecasting, planning and budgeting of research activity and have a varied portfolio of other duties including REF support.

You can make a significant contribution to our research success, working alongside the University Research & Enterprise Directorate and NHS partners. You will need to prove your experience of financial administration and be actively working towards AAT, or an equivalent qualification, or be already financially qualified (ACCA / CIMA / AAT).

This is a superb opportunity to develop your career in a new and vibrant Faculty.
