About the role : Following the award of a 4-year Wellcome Trust Discretionary Award supporting ‘An Artificial Intelligence-Driven Antifungal Drug Target Discovery Platform’ and a related GSK-Fleming funded Aspergillus fumigatus drug discovery programme, we are looking to appoint an experienced and enthusiastic project manager. The role will span both projects and will involve supporting and co-ordinating the work of a cross-disciplinary team of 11 Investigators, working across projects and taking ownership of actions, following them through to completion in a complex matrix organisation. What you would be doing : You will be responsible for providing full administrative and project support to Professor Holmes, Director of the Fleming Initiative and for working closely with Prof Armstrong-James who is the Primary Investigator on both fungal projects, on the delivery of the science. This will include monitoring budgets, reporting progress and facilitating research through the organisation of key project meetings, efficient execution of any related administration. You will facilitate effective communication with the wider Fleming Initiative and between faculties, departments, and other areas of the College to ensure timely information flow and seamless collaboration. What we are looking for : You must have extensive experience in providing administrative and project management support for successful project delivery within the context of Higher Education, the NHS or a research organisation. This includes experience of managing budgets, financial reporting and providing sound financial management advice to senior-level academic/clinical staff. Since you will be managing the delivery of scientific outputs in what is a very technical project, we also require an undergraduate degree, or equivalent experience in Microbiology, Chemistry or Bioscience. Given the nature of the project and the wider Fleming Initiative, the ability to work in an interdisciplinary research team and rapidly build relationships and processes across organisational boundaries is essential. You will be expected to have the ability to work independently and as part of a team, as required and to be open-minded and cooperative. Outstanding, demonstrable organisational skills are non-negotiable as is the ability to own and resolve problems using own initiative where necessary. 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 43 days’ annual leave 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 .
