We are on the hunt for an adviser to join our Research Services Transition Team.

The Research Services Transition Adviser will provide high-quality advisory support to the University and UniServices teams responsible for delivering contracting, funds advisory and proposal development services. This will include supporting funder campaigns and undertaking quality assurance and compliance checks on research proposals to ensure funder requirements are met as required.

- Update all relevant internal and external documentation with new processes, contacts and branding.
- Manage the process of updating the ResearchHub and other relevant sources to reflect the new model, including updating support material, exemplars, FAQs and other documentation.
- Support the update and development of new induction, process and procedure resources.

This is a full-time, 37.5 hours per week role on an 18-month contract. The salary range for this role is $68,600 - $84,700 per annum, depending on experience and qualifications.
