The Bonavero Institute is seeking to recruit a part-time Project Officer to directly assist Professor Jeremias Adams-Prassl with the practical organisation of the project. This includes providing coordinated support for the project with the post holder working closely with the project’s Principal Investigator and postdoctoral researcher, as well as the core administration team at the Bonavero Institute tasked with overseeing events and finance. The postholder will report to the Institute Administrator, Bonavero Institute of Human Rights.
The post holder will provide financial support for the projects, ensuring full compliance with funding body regulations, monitoring expenditure, and processing of expense claims. Other duties will include general support to organise workshops and conferences; coordinate data collection; maintenance of the project websites, and general project administration. In addition, there will be opportunities to support specific project events that might fall out of normal working hours, for which overtime payments will be made.
The successful candidate should be qualified to GCSE standard or equivalent; have proven experience of research grants administration, or equivalent administrative experience; highly competent IT user, with experience of Microsoft Word and Excel; excellent communication skills; experience of administration within the Higher Education sector; experience disseminating information using social media with attention to detail and accuracy and experience of making travel arrangement and managing itineraries for multi-destination trips. Experience of using the University’s expense claim system (SAPConcur) and updating websites is desirable.
The work is offered on a part time basis (0.4 FTE). The role is available immediately and is fixed term until 31 March 2026. It would be an ideal secondment or career development opportunity.
The Law Faculty supports hybrid working, and after a suitable training and induction period (when more onsite working might be necessary) staff are currently required to be on site at least 40% of their working week. However, given the nature of the role it would be beneficial for the postholder to work at least one day on site, Wednesday or Thursday. The postholder will be based at the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights, Mansfield College.
