The Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced Research Officer to support School of Arts research projects focused on journalism and media practices in the Global South, including policy and pedagogical approaches to multi-perspectival communication.

The Research Officer will assist with literature reviews, data collection, data entry, basic data analysis, and the preparation of research materials. The role involves supporting the research team in various administrative and research related tasks to ensure the smooth progress of projects. The position also provides end-to-end research administration across both pre-award and post-award activities, including coordinating project set-up, supporting compliant project management practices, and ensuring alignment with funder guidelines and University policy.

The Research Officer will deliver practical financial administration support, including budgeting, financial reporting, and advising on monthly project budget balances. This includes raising invoices and purchase orders, supporting Chief Investigators to maintain budget oversight, and contributing to grant application preparation through budget development and coordination of approvals. The role requires effective stakeholder engagement across the Faculty, Finance and Research Services, funding bodies, and suppliers, with a focus on accuracy, compliance, and continuous process improvement.

What Success Looks Like:

Demonstrating autonomy with guidance from the Dean, School of Arts.
Research projects are established efficiently with compliant administration in place.
Project records are accurate, complete, and meet University requirements.
Budgets, invoices, purchase orders, and Non-Salary Item (NSI) approvals are processed accurately and on time.
Researchers receive timely, accurate advice on budgeting, policy, procedures, and reporting obligations.
Grant applications and budget proposals are supported through coordinated, high-quality inputs.

Please refer to the Position Description for full details.

About You

You hold a relevant research degree, with experience supporting research and project financial administration (or have an equivalent combination of experience).
You’ve worked in a research administration environment and understand what it takes to keep projects compliant, well-documented and running smoothly.
You’re confident with systems and digital tools, and bring high-level computer skills across spreadsheets, document tools, data platforms, CMS and research-related applications.
You can analyse information, track budgets and reporting requirements, and turn data into clear, accurate reports.
You communicate clearly and build strong working relationships with researchers, professional staff and external stakeholders.
Holding, or working towards an ARMS accreditation is desirable.

Benefits
