Are you an experienced research support professional who enjoys working collaboratively?
We have an exciting opportunity to join us as a Grants Support Officer at the AMRC. We are looking for someone with a research support background who is looking to make an impact by supporting the creation of robust, fundable grant applications.
As a Grants Support Officer, you will apply your passion for research administration and skills in pre-award research support to help develop high-quality, fundable grant applications. You will work in a world-leading research centre in a well-connected, well respected team. The AMRC is part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult (HVMC), and are well known internationally for our groundbreaking research.
We are seeking candidates with relevant experience as well as excellent time management and organisation skills. As this role involves the financial aspects of research grants, you will also need costing experience.
Educated to A-Level or equivalent, you will possess strong administrative skills. You should be comfortable supporting research from a variety of industrial sectors, including defence.
What We Offer:
Established in 2001, the AMRC is a world-leading centre for advanced manufacturing research for aerospace and other high-value sectors. We have a global reputation for helping companies overcome manufacturing problems and have become a model for worldwide collaborative research involving universities, academics, and industry. With over 120 members, we work closely with global giants, such as Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems, Airbus and Messier-Bugatti-Dowty, as well as with local small and medium sized businesses.
You will be based at the AMRC in Rotherham as part of a small, but busy, grants team. The role will require some movement between the main AMRC site on Sir Frank Whittle Way, its flagship Factory 2050, based in the Sheffield Business Park, and the main University of Sheffield campus to attend meetings and events. Travel to other AMRC sites, (based in the North West and Wales) is also required.
The University of Sheffield is a remarkable place to work. Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Their diverse backgrounds, abilities and beliefs make Sheffield a world-class university.
We offer a fantastic range of benefits including a highly competitive annual leave entitlement (with the ability to purchase more), a generous pensions scheme, flexible working opportunities,a commitment to your development and wellbeing, a wide range of retail discounts, and much more.
Find out more at sheffield.ac.uk/jobs/benefits and join us to become part of something special.
We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which benefit the individual and University.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
