The University of Surrey is a global community of ideas and people, dedicated to life-changing education and research. We are ambitious and have a bold vision of what we want to achieve - shaping ourselves into one of the best universities in the world.
Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference. The Faculty of Arts, Business and Social Sciences (FABSS) is an inspirational and fascinating environment to work in and presents a wonderful backdrop for individuals to support research and to develop their skills and career.
The role
We seek a dynamic and proactive individual to join the FABSS Faculty Research and Innovation Office (FRIO) in the role of Research Development Officer. The successful candidate will collaborate with other professional services team members to deliver support to the faculty's research community. Utilising collaborative methods and proactive service delivery, the post-holder will play a pivotal role in ensuring our researchers' bids and activities are managed and enhanced through effective support.
About you
The role would suit an individual with strong interpersonal and organisational skills, showcasing adaptability and flexibility in managing evolving workloads and priorities. You should possess good IT skills, including MS Office and Sharepoint, and be willing to learn University IT systems relevant to the role.
