The University's Research and Innovation Services (RIS) forms a key component in the delivery of the University's strategy. RIS is a central function, supporting, enabling and promoting all aspects of research, impact, economic development, commercialisation and innovation across our academic community and external stakeholders. Working in partnership we deliver the University and Schools' strategic priorities creating an inclusive research culture and environment where everyone can thrive, excel, and contribute to grow our excellence in research, innovation, and impact regionally, nationally, and globally.

The University of Dundee has been successful in securing a flM Institutional Funding for Research Culture (IFRC) award from Wellcome. The IFRC will advance strategies to sustain positive research cultures by underpinning a portfolio of activities that will break barriers, support career transitions, and develop a caring inclusive interdisciplinary community of researchers. It will support the development of listening leaders and has core initiatives to flexibly support the careers of women, BAME, early career researchers and primary caregivers. We will engage 'Hidden' researchers from the many University roles who make key often unrecognised contributions.

We are looking to appoint an experienced Research Culture and Environment Administrator to ensure the effective delivery of the Wellcome IFRC, to ensure alignment and support wider research culture activities across the University. You will provide excellent levels of support and service to all stakeholders, ensuring that work is carried out within the University's procedures and policy guidelines.

This post is supported by external funding, with an end date of 30 April 2026, for this fixed term role.

Your priorities will include:

• Be responsible for coordinating and providing administrative support for the funding or training opportunities supported by the IFRC.


• Provide financial administrative support to the Research Culture and Environment unit, including requisitioning and receipting of purchases in the One University system.


• Act as first point of contact for a range of stakeholders including students, staff and external visitors.


• Provide input on strategic change initiatives required to ensure the efficient and effective provision of all aspects of service delivery.

Who we're looking for:

• Solid and demonstrable experience in providing administrative support in a busy office environment and using IT systems.


• An HNC or relevant Higher Education or other vocational experience is essential.


• High degree of accuracy and attention to detail.

The diversity of our staff and students helps to make the University of Dundee a UK university of choice for undergraduate, postgraduate and distance learning. Family friendly policies, staff networks for BAME, Disabled and LGBT staff, membership of Athena SWAN, the ECU Race Equality Charter and Stonewall as well a full range of disability services, create an enjoyable and inclusive place to work.
