About this position
The University of Birmingham is recruiting a Research Projects Portfolio Administrator for its College of Social Sciences in Edgbaston, Birmingham. This professional-services role supports the College’s post-award research function and works closely with the Head of Operations, Research and Knowledge Transfer (RKT).
The postholder will provide administrative support across funded research projects and act as an important link between academic colleagues, professional services teams, Principal Investigators and wider University services. Activities include responding to project-support queries, coordinating with research support, finance, procurement, HR and school operations teams, monitoring and reporting project budgets, supporting recruitment and contract-extension cases for research-funded posts, arranging meetings, processing expenses, booking travel and accommodation, and supporting project events.
A substantial part of the role involves supporting REF preparation across the College and its Schools. The administrator will help academic colleagues use the PURE Research Information System, support data collection, collate information for People, Culture and Environment narratives, monitor REF preparation timetables, and communicate key deadlines. The role also supports the College Research and Knowledge Transfer Committee, REF SIG, ROMAG, the College Director of Research and the Head of Operations (RKT).
The successful candidate will join a small team establishing and developing research support services across the College. The position requires an organised, flexible and pragmatic approach, with the ability to manage competing priorities, create effective administrative systems and contribute to continuous service improvement. Work may span different Schools and office locations across the Edgbaston campus.
The University of Birmingham offers a collaborative research-support environment within a leading global university and a diverse College of Social Sciences.
