We are pleased to invite applications to the role of Research Project Manager for the NIHR School of Social Care Research (SSCR) at the University of Sheffield. Along with the Director of the SSCR, Katherine Runswick Cole, you will play a key role in the success of the School and be committed to assisting the school in delivering its mission.

You will have responsibility for planning, allocating resources and budget management of the SSCR. You will provide specialist advice to the research groups on strategy, policy and operational procedures. You will monitor the progress of research project teams, making recommendations on how to remedy any issues and fully realise the potential of projects.
