Job description

The ESRC/AHRC IAA Administrator will have general responsibility for the administrative support for a number of project activities and deliverables, including finance, fund management processes, funder reports, internal communications and diary management.

The IAAs, or Impact Acceleration Accounts, are dedicated funds that enable researchers in both the Social Sciences and Arts and Humanities to bring about positive changes in the wider world beyond academia.

As a team, we support researchers to undertake projects, as well as connecting researchers with external partners in a wide range of organisations to work on real-world challenges. These include Healthy ageing, Anti-modern slavery, Creative digital, and supporting the cultural economy post-Covid.

Building capability and capacity for this type of work across the University and bringing about culture change within the institution are key project deliverables. You will be part of the team undertaking this interesting, varied and exciting work and so be  part of delivering positive benefits to communities drawing on Sussex research.

This job is offered for six months full time in the first instance, and then part-time from April 2023. This may be increased to full-time subject to funding (this will be known in December 2022).
