Applications are invited for the post of Graduate Studies Office (GSO) and Degree Committee Administrator who will be based in the Graduate Studies Office at the Department of Engineering's site in central Cambridge.

The GSO supports the Degree Committee for the Faculty of Engineering, which also includes degree committee functions for the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (approx. 200 current students).
