Abertay is a modern university with a global outlook, rooted in its local and national communities. We have made our mark with high quality, well-directed teaching and research, and a stimulating and enriching experience for our students.
Research, Innovation and Enterprise Support Office (RIES)

You will join a small professional team and help drive the development of a newly formed RIES Office. The new RIES Office brings together staff, support and management functions from across the University, to provide an integrated, efficient, and coherent support and management service for the funding submission and award lifecycle. The RIES Office team will provide expert advice, guidance and operational support for the entire university RKE portfolio. The team will collaborate with the academic community, various university leadership groups and support services, to deliver against university and external key performance indicators to ensure the University’s compliance with major funders and government agencies.

The new RIES Office is co-located with the Graduate School team, who provide support and professional development opportunities to our vibrant postgraduate and researcher community. The teams are overseen by the Dean of Research and the Graduate School within a dedicated facility at the heart of the University. Together the RIES and Graduate School teams are central to the continued development of our excellent research culture and environment, supporting delivery of the University’s Research and Knowledge Exchange Strategy R-LINCS (https://www.abertay.ac.uk/research-overview/research-strategy-and-structure/), and achievement of its RKE ambitions.

The University now seeks to appoint a Research Funding and Support Officer.

Reporting to the Head of the Research Innovation and Enterprise Support (RIES) office, the Research Funding and Support Officer manages and supports all the administrative processes involved in identifying, applying to, securing and setting up external research funds. Acting as the main point of contact for key sponsors, researchers wishing to submit funding proposals and collaborating Institutions wishing to establish agreements, you will be expected to develop a sound working knowledge of the sponsors who support research within the University. Establishing effective professional working relationships with staff at all levels within the University as well as all relevant funding bodies will be essential to your success.

As a key member of the RIES team you will report to and work with the Head of Research Innovation and Enterprise Support to ensure accurate grant costings are created and submitted to the required deadlines and there is a smooth transition from pre- to post- award when applications are successful.

Whilst this role is specialised, you will, over time, be expected to gain experience in a number of other related areas such as research funding, finance, human resources and project management, and as such this is an ideal role for individuals keen to develop their career within university professional support services.

You will be expected to exercise initiative and will usually work independently, consulting with the academic staff, the RIES team and Head of Research Innovation and Enterprise Support as appropriate.

If you believe you have the skills and experience for this exciting and challenging role, please submit your application through our online recruitment system, which can be found at https://www.abertay.ac.uk/discover/work-here/jobs/
