The CCRI is seeking to appoint a committed and enthusiastic individual to the post of Research Administrator – Apprentice (1.0 fte). This post will suit a person interested in developing a career in research and/or research management and administration, either in Higher Education or other sectors undertaking this type of activity.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone to both join the team as a Research Administrator and study part-time towards a Level 6 Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship (CMDA).
