The School of Physics, Engineering and Technology brings physicists and engineers together to push the frontiers of knowledge, foster innovation and meet the grand challenges facing society. Our aim is to deliver world-leading research in both fundamental and applied areas whilst developing new technologies that work for the public good, in an environment where everyone can thrive.
As a School, equality, diversity, and inclusion are central to our culture and we strive to provide a working environment which allows all staff and students to contribute fully, to flourish, and to excel. We aim to ensure that there is a supportive and egalitarian culture at all levels and across all staff groups and offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, staff engagement forums, campus facilities and services to support staff from different backgrounds. We are proud to hold Juno Champion and Athena Swan bronze awards, which recognise our commitment to creating an equitable and fully inclusive environment in which staff and students can thrive. We aim to inspire young people to engage with science and engineering through our outreach work.
The University of York leads two EPSRC Centres for Doctoral Training in Fusion. These Fusion CDTs are networks of universities including Durham, Liverpool, Manchester, Oxford, Sheffield and York - working in partnership with national laboratories and industry to train about 20 PhD students per cohort, in the science and technology of fusion power. Fusion is the process that powers the sun - if we can reproduce it here on Earth, it will provide effectively limitless safe, carbon-free energy. The Fusion CDTs will continue to make major contributions to training the generation who will build and operate the UK's STEP prototype power plant, as well as work on international fusion facilities such as MAST-U, ITER and laser facilities in the UK and around the world. We are seeking an exceptional administrator to join our team at York and work closely with staff and students across all of our partners to ensure we train amongst the best fusion energy students in the world., The main purpose of this role is to perform a range of administrative duties in order to support the smooth running of the operations of the Fusion CDTs. This will include, but is not limited to, arranging conference registration, accommodation and travel for staff, students and visitors relating to the Fusion CDT. Matching travel to appropriate workorders and recording expenditure accurately using spreadsheets. Providing effective and efficient admin support to the Fusion CDT Manager and other senior colleagues involved in the Fusion CDT as required.
