Research and Innovation Assistant

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. This is a varied role that requires strong attention to detail, excellent communication skills and a commitment to high levels of customer service for staff, students and external stakeholders.

In return, we offer a supportive environment that values professional development, inclusivity and continuous improvement, where your work will make a meaningful contribution to research excellence and postgraduate student success.
