CAHSS / School of Law

Full Time: 35 hours week

Fixed Term: 36 months

The Opportunity:

Edinburgh Law School is seeking to recruit an enthusiastic Research Finance Administrator to join the Research, Knowledge Exchange and Impact Office.

The Research Finance Administrator will provide high quality and customer-focused support for research projects within the School. This includes financial administration and reporting for funded research grants, advising Principal Investigators (i.e. research grant holders) on funder terms and conditions, and the organisation of events. This is a varied role that would be suitable for a well organised administrator with financial experience and excellent customer service skills who wishes to develop a career within research administration.

This post is full-time (35 hours per week) but we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working. However, applicants should note that the role requires at least three days per week on campus.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
