SAMBa Centre for Doctoral Training Manager

About The Role

You will be an essential member of the team delivering the SAMBa (Statistical Applied Mathematics at Bath) Centre for Doctoral Training. SAMBa is a well-established research and training centre supporting approximately 150 PhD researchers and graduates. Though based in Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath, we work closely with academics from many other disciplines, industrial partners, and international organisations to deliver excellent research with impact.

Responsibilities

• Job sharing with the current post holder.
• Taking on elements of governance, such as Advisory Board oversight and funder reporting requirements.
• Following up with partners, including contract management.
• Exploring and implementing training initiatives, such as CPD courses.

Requirements

We are seeking a pro-active, self-motivated Centre Manager to job share with our current post holder. Although you should be prepared to cover any aspect of the role, we are particularly looking for someone to take on elements of governance, follow up with partners, and training.

Qualifications

You will be interested in mathematical sciences research and supporting people (particularly at postgraduate level) to deliver it. You will be committed and entrepreneurial, and comfortable working in a team consisting of academics and professional services staff. Your skill set means that you will be comfortable working with a large portfolio of information, and diverse stakeholders and collating data to meet the reporting requirements from our funders. Previous experience will enable you to work effectively with collaborators outside of the University, and teams within the institution to enable delivery of collaborative research, including co-funded PhD agreements. You will be an excellent communicator who is able to think strategically, solve problems effectively, and manage your own time and workload.
