Hybrid working (when office-based: John Radcliffe Hospital, Headington, Oxford)
SECONDMENT - INTERNAL APPLICANTS ONLY.
Offered as 6 months at 0.4 FTE – Grade 7 (£38,674 - £46,913 pro rata)
The Medical Sciences Division is looking for an experienced project manager to join the friendly and supportive Research Strategy and Funding Team in the MSD Office on a part-time internal secondment.
This is a great opportunity for applicants who are interested in expanding their career in research support to gain experience of the research activity of the world-leading, internationally-recognised Medical Sciences Division, and play a major role in delivering an exciting new project.
With support from the Research Funding Manager and Head of Research Strategy & Funding, you will develop and launch a new international fellowship scheme which will provide a generous package of support to attract early career academics with great potential to join the University of Oxford and enable them to become world-leaders in their field.
The scope of this activity is wide-ranging and complex. You should be comfortable taking responsibility for the delivery of projects, have previous project management experience, strong organisational skills and the ability to work independently. You should be able to form effective working relationships with staff at all levels and possess strong communication skills (both written and oral).
This secondment opportunity is only open to internal candidates already employed by the University with experience of research support. It would particularly suit candidates with an interest in research funding or academic careers, and who have existing knowledge of the University of Oxford's structure and processes as they relate to research management.
This is a temporary role for 6 months offered as an internal secondment opportunity at 0.4 FTE. The Team operates hybrid working with time split between the MSD Office in the John Radcliffe Hospital (currently minimum 1 day/week on Thursdays) and remote working. The Team can offer flexibility over the exact hours and days worked, and the post-holder is asked to join the team in the JR for at least half a day on Thursdays as often as possible.
You will be required to upload a covering letter/supporting statement, CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.
The closing date for applications is Monday 27 January 2025 at 12:00 noon.
Interviews will likely be held in week commencing 10 February 2025 and may be virtual or in person at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford.
