This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced research administrator to join an international team on a highly ambitious collaborative project.
This is a 0.5FTE, three-year (36 month) fixed-term post that begins on 1 November 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The University of Huddersfield is committed to diversity and encourages all qualified applicants to apply, regardless of their background.
PSM-AP is a complex, collaborative project with a team of 9 researchers based across 6 countries that asks how the cultural and social values of public service media (PSM) are being transformed in the age of platforms and what factors are propelling or inhibiting change in different national contexts. The project is being led by Professor Catherine Johnson at the University of Huddersfield. The appointed research administrator would support Professor Johnson in the running of the project and other relevant research activities. This will include working with the project lead to set up and devise administrative processes to support the collaborative working of the distributed team of researchers and assisting the project lead in managing the project budget, ensuring compliance with the terms of the research funding, organising events and project meetings, developing and maintaining relevant databases, and supporting knowledge exchange activities.
The project involves four Work Packages, each led by a Principal Investigator based in the UK, Belgium, Poland or Denmark. Post-doctoral researchers based in the UK, Denmark, Belgium, Italy and Poland will work collaboratively together and with the PIs to gather and compare data related to each work package. The project will be supported by an international advisory board and includes multiple stakeholder engagement and knowledge exchange activities, including two workshops and a final conference. The role would suit an experienced administrator with the initiative to set up and manage administrative processes suitable for this kind of collaborative, distributed project.
