Doctoral Training Co-ordinator (LAHP DTP)

About the Role

This role involves close collaboration with the Strategic Research Lead for the Doctoral College, the Director of the LAHP DTP at QMUL and the LAHP DTP Manager and administrative team at University College London (UCL). The person in this role will collaborate with counterparts, known as Doctoral Training Managers, across QMUL and at partner universities, including UCL. Collaboration is a pivotal aspect of this position, entailing active engagement in strategic programme development and the establishment of partnerships across institutions, including University College London, King's College London, and the School of Advanced Study.

The role entails providing administrative support for the London Arts and Humanities Partnership (LAHP), an AHRC-funded Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) that includes University College London, King's College London, and the School of Advanced Study. This involves close collaboration with LAHP in planning, programming, organising, and delivering activities crucial to the Faculty’s role as an associate member. As the primary point of administrative contact, the position involves addressing queries related to the DTP from academic and administrative staff at QMUL, as well as current DTP students and prospective students. Responsibilities include offering administrative assistance for the annual studentship selection process, managing research training provisions, coordinating DTP events, and overseeing the financial aspects of the DTP, and supporting studentships for two additional recruitment rounds as part of the flagship LAHP DTP.
