We are seeking an organised and proactive Research and Innovation Assistant to support the postgraduate research (PGR) experience across the Faculty. Working closely with the Research and Innovation Coordinator and wider colleagues, you will help to administer high‑quality, consistent processes that underpin research activity, ethics, funding bids and PGR student lifecycle activities.
