Crynodeb
We have an exciting opportunity for a Grants and Contracts Officer on a fixed-term basis, working within the College of Business and Social Sciences to support research funding development and award acceptance. This includes identifying funding opportunities, contributing to bids, and overseeing post-award processes such as reviewing and processing contracts and agreements.
Reporting to the Awards and Contracts Specialist, you’ll collaborate closely with researchers and colleagues across teams to help deliver a high-quality, inclusive research support service aligned with Aston’s Research and Enterprise 2030 strategy. Strong written and verbal communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage processes effectively are essential.
You should have a degree or equivalent experience, proven organisational skills, and experience in drafting and negotiating contracts. We’re looking for a motivated individual who thrives in a collaborative environment and enjoys building strong working relationships.
What we offer:
Aston University is a vibrant campus located within Birmingham city centre, which has excellent transport links via bus or train.
Excellent training and development opportunities.
A generous annual leave scheme with 30 days bookable leave and a further 13 days of bank holiday and University closure days.
Everyday discounts to a number of activities and retailers.
Great family-friendly policies.
On-site gym and pool with discounted staff membership available.
Further information on our Benefits and Rewards can be found here.

• Are under 26 years old
• Hold a PhD that is relevant to the role
• Have held a Student or Graduate visa in the last 2 years
• Are already in the UK with a Tier 2 or Skilled Worker visa issued before April 4th 2024
