You will join a small professional team and help drive the development of a newly formed RIES Office.

The RIES Office team will provide expert advice, guidance and operational support for the entire university RKE portfolio.

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.

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.

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.
