Grants Administrator

A new opportunity has arisen for a Grants Administrator to join the Oxford Vaccine Group within the growing and vibrant Department of Paediatrics. You will cost new funding applications using the University costing tool (X5), ensuring compliance with sponsor rules, and corresponding with the relevant internal and external stakeholders. With support from the Grants Manager, you will also help manage a large portfolio of research grant awards, including funding from Research Councils, EU funding, Gates Foundation, the Department of Health, and industrial partners.

The post is grant funded for a fixed-term (funded for 18 months in the first instance but with high likelihood of extension).

Previous experience of working in a financial and/or a research grant administration role and using computerised financial accounting systems and spreadsheets, is desirable. However, we are keen to receive applications from candidates who have strong numeracy and communication skills with a willingness to learn the many aspects of Research Grants administration.

You will be required to upload a CV and supporting statement/covering letter explaining how you meet the job requirements and details of two referees as part of your online application.

The closing date for this post is 04 AUG 2021 at 12:00 noon, with interviews expected to take place shortly after.
