University of Leeds
Faculty of Education, Social Sciences and Law
Full-time, 35 hours per week
Our Research Support function provides the management and administration of over £90m in grants - which lets our 1,500 academics concentrate on the research for which Leeds is world-renowned. Our Faculty Research Offices manage the cradle-to-grave grant administration process; preparing and approving research applications, setting up new research accounts, and submitting claims to funding bodies. They monitor, evaluate and provide information and advice throughout the grant lifecycle.
We will give you specific responsibility for the post-award process and research activity reporting for the Faculty. Working closely with the Research Support Team you will help with the management of grants: their organisation, management, administration and reporting. It means managing a portfolio of grants, checking all financial information and carrying out quantitative analysis and data modelling where required. You will also get involved in the preparation of new applications for funding.
You will demonstrate experience and confidence in understanding, handling and presenting statistical and financial information and have at least two A Levels (or equivalent) and GCSEs at grade C or above (or equivalent) in Maths and English or significant relevant work experience. Your attention to detail and problem solving abilities are second to none and you will be equally happy working on your own initiative or as part of a team.
Above all, you'll need to understand that this is no standard admin role - you must think independently and be proactive enough to deal with clerical challenges, as well as a wide variety of people.
