Doctoral Partnerships Administrator

About the role:

The Doctoral Partnerships Administrator works closely with staff at Imperial, King’s College London and Queen Mary University London, playing a central role in the administration of the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Programme (LISS DTP).

For the right candidate, this new role represents an excellent opportunity to work collaboratively across Imperial departments supporting social science initiatives and creating connections with the LISS partner institutions contributing to the success of the DTP.

What you would be doing:

As a first point of contact for Imperial’s LISS DTP students you will represent the team, answer queries, proactively share information and advice, and provide administrative support including processing expenses claims and booking travel.

You will liaise closely with faculty and support staff at both Imperial and the partner institutions to share information and best practice, provide updates and reports, deliver events and organise meetings.

In addition, you will work with the Business School Doctoral Programme Team and colleagues to support the occasional administration of visiting researchers including processing applications and enrolments and welcoming new researchers. Ad hoc support to the team during busy periods will also be expected.

What we are looking for:

Dedicated to providing the highest quality of support to Doctoral programmes, you will need to be confident in working collaboratively across departments and professional services and demonstrate ability of providing support to a variety of stakeholders.

You must be an organised administrator with a keen attention to detail and strong communication skills, ideally gained through work in higher education. Whilst a strong team player, being self-motivated to work autonomously is essential.

What we can offer you:

• The opportunity to continue your career at a world-leading institution and be part of our mission to use science for humanity.
• Benefit from a sector-leading salary and remuneration package including 39 days’ leave (annual leave pro-rata'd, plus bank holidays and university closure dates) and generous pension schemes.
• Access to a range of workplace benefits including a flexible working policy from day one, generous family leave packages, on-site leisure facilities and cycle-to-work scheme.
• Interest-free season ticket loan schemes for travel.
• Be part of a diverse, inclusive and collaborative work culture with various staff networks and resources to support your personal and professional wellbeing.

Further information:

This is a part time role, 21 hours per week, based with the Doctoral Programme Team at Imperial Business School.

The role will likely involve some travel within London to the partner institutions for events and meetings, and may require occasional after-hours events attendance.
