The Faculty of Philosophy is seeking an enthusiastic and experienced person to administer our MPhil and PhD postgraduate programmes.
The role holder is responsible for the smooth running of postgraduate operations in the Faculty and works closely with the academic Director of Postgraduate Studies, MPhil Course Director, and Director of Postgraduate Admissions.
This is a varied and interesting role. The role holder is heavily involved in the organisation and administration of the Faculty's postgraduate examinations, admissions, and funding applications. The role holder also manages many other general postgraduate administrative duties and undertakes complex committee work.
This is a full-time post, working 36.5 hours per week, but we welcome part time applications, between 0.5 FTE - 1 FTE. Precise arrangements for working pattern and hours will be discussed with the successful candidate and the Faculty Manager.
The successful candidate will be educated to at least HND/HNC level, or equivalent level of practical experience. You will have excellent administrative, organisational and communication skills and a good level of numeracy. You must be accurate, flexible, able to take initiative and able to build good working relationships at all levels. You must also be able to work under pressure and prioritise work to meet deadlines.
Previous experience of administration in a university environment, in particular postgraduate administration, would be an advantage.
This post is fixed-term for 12 months or the return of the post holder, whichever is the earlier.
