About the role

This position provides an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and ambitious administrator to create and shape the supporting infrastructure for a UK-wide, multi-partner network. 

This will be a busy role with a varied range of operational tasks and responsibilities including event organisation, budget management, stakeholder engagement and running communication platforms.

Its primary aim is to bring together interdisciplinary and diverse expertise synergistically to generate new areas of research with foldamer research. A chief ambition is to reach out to other disciplines who could benefit from the use of foldamers in their research. This interdisciplinary research will be seeded though several activities, such as annual meetings, workshops, and inter-lab visits as well as a strong focus on Early Career Researchers.
