The Department of Psychology has grown its research activity over the last five years and now has a large portfolio of internally and externally funded research projects.

Along with the Grant Capture Leads, they will support staff in identifying appropriate funders, gaining appropriate training and advice for specific research funding calls, submitting grants and liaising with the research support services to ensure the effective administration of grants. 
• They will work with the Research Income Lead in the monitoring of current income and expenditure. 
• They will assist in the development of our income stream from consultancy and evaluation. 
• They will operate in the capacity of administrative support for specific research projects on a buy-out basis. 

You will be joining a very large, lively, diverse, collegiate and ambitious group with an excellent reputation for its theoretically informed impactful and applied research and its teaching provision at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
