This is an exciting opportunity to make a personal contribution to the University of Westminster’s growth strategy for Research and Academic Enterprise.

Part of a newly-established Business Operations team within the Commercial Development and Business Support (CD&BS) Department at the University of Westminster, you will provide post-award support to the Academic teams leading the work.

Possessing strong interpersonal skills, you will also be well organised, able to take the initiative and be a good team player. You will show competence in corporate management data bases (e.g. finance and human resources systems) and it would be valuable if you had experience in research ethics.

This role will support a mixed portfolio of research projects, initially focussing approximately three days a week on a Black music history project based at the our Harrow campus. Your duties will vary from making flights booking and arranging academic conferences to filming and arranging oral history interviews and also managing the relationship with the interview subjects. You will be coordinating around twenty volunteers working at partner institutions and you will also negotiate copyright clearances for music, images and film to be re-used in multiple media. You will also help to co-ordinate a budget and oversee its related legal paperwork. 

This is just an example of the many exciting projects you will be working on and you will be working flexibly amongst a variety of projects at the various University Campuses.

You will be line managed through the University’s Business Operations team in CD&BS, with benefits of personal and career development and the opportunity to contribute to build a framework for post-award support across the University.
