About the role
We have an exciting opportunity for a motivated and extremely well-organised individual to join our world-leading mathematics department on a fixed term until September 2025, full time basis as Mathematics of Random Systems CDT Administrator.
You will be responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Centre’s activity including the development and implementation of processes and procedures where necessary. You will be the first port of call for students and faculty involved with the Centre and you will provide advice and guidance as appropriate.
You will play a key role in graduate recruitment and admissions, and the organization of training and events, and you will provide the CDT Director and Co-Directors with regular management information, including the provision of financial and planning data. As an indication of the scale of financial administration required, Random Systems has an initial budget of approximately £8 M (core project funding from EPSRC), which will be supplemented by industrial funding from a range of sources.
The CDT Administrator is an essential member of the CDT management team. Your professional reporting line will be to the Head of Academic Administration, but on a day-to-day basis you will report to the Centre’s Director, Professor Rama Cont (Oxford) and the Co-Directors, Professor Ben Hambly (Oxford) and Professor Thomas Cass (Imperial). You will be expected to work closely with all three departments involved in the Centre: The Mathematical Institute (Oxford), the Department of Statistics (Oxford) and the Department of Mathematics, Imperial College.
