Research Support Officer (Post Award)

Salary: Grade 5 (£25,742 – £29,605 p.a. depending upon experience) 

This role will be based on the University campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements. 

Are you hard working with an eye for detail? Do you have administrative experience working in a busy office environment ideally in a research support or finance role? Do you want to join a team that is committed to supporting the strategic objectives and research culture of the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures?

The University of Leeds is one of the top 75 universities in the world. We have a truly global community, with more than 39,000 students from 170 different countries and over 9,000 staff of 100 different nationalities. Established in 1904, we have a strong tradition of academic excellence, reflected in first-class student education, along with world-leading research that has a real impact around the globe. 

We are looking for a professional and proactive individual who will provide high quality, customer focussed research support as part of our Faculty Research Office (FRO). You will support the provision of grants management and financial administration within the FRO, with particular responsibility for the post-award process. 

With administrative experience of working in a busy, customer focused environment, you will have excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively as part of a wider support team and experience of working to tight deadlines and independently prioritising multiple tasks. 

This vacancy is within the Finance Service but it is based in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures. However, should the business need arise, and after full consultation with you, you may be deployed elsewhere within the Finance Service.

• 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – That’s 42 days a year!
