**Who are we looking for?**

**Real world impact**

QUT is a major Australian university with a global outlook and a 'real world' focus. We are an ambitious and collaborative institution that seeks to equip our students and graduates with the skills they will need in an increasingly disrupted and challenged world.

**About the Research Portfolio**

QUT has experienced the strongest, sustained research growth of any university in the sector over the last ten years. The scale and complexity of research at QUT has reached a level that requires enhanced processes and resources to support the University’s research community in meeting its aspirations and compliance obligations.

The Portfolio of R&I provides high quality support and training and conducts compliance and reporting across a range of obligations at an organisational level in an environment of dynamic growth in cross institutional collaborations.

The Portfolio is comprised of five units including Research Strategy and Policy, Research Infrastructure, Sustainability Strategy, Office of Research Services and Office of Research Ethics and Integrity.

Research Strategy and Policy provides strategy and policy advice and support to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research) in addition to managing and coordinating the activities of the Portfolio Office, providing operational leadership and financial management oversight of the Portfolio’s budget and the University research budget. The Graduate Research Education and Development (GRE+D), in Research Strategy and Policy, supports learning and skills development for all research students and their supervisors, thereby preparing industry and work ready research graduates.

Research Infrastructure (RI) delivers coordinated University-wide research infrastructure capabilities through distinct research facilities. In collaboration with internal and external partners, the unit acquires, facilitates access to, develops, and manages world-class research infrastructure capabilities.

Sustainability Strategy advises the University on sustainability strategy, planning, policy, and partnerships and supports the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research) in pursuing major research initiatives in the sustainability space. The Pro Vice-Chancellor’s Office also champions and coordinates education for sustainability at QUT in collaboration with the Education Portfolio and supports sustainability programs linked to QUT’s operations.

Office of Research Ethics and Integrity (OREI) supports researchers by providing education, guidance, process and advice for research ethics, biosafety and responsible research practices to embed a high quality research culture at the University.

**What you need to succeed**

Your expertise and initiative, combined with your ability to work as an excellent team player will be vital to your success in this role.

You will demonstrate:
1. Education, training and/or experience equivalent to completion of a degree, or an associate diploma with at least 2 years’ relevant research administration experience.
2. Demonstrated experience in research administration and the ability to interpret relevant policies and procedures and to provide clear and consistent advice to clients and teams.
3. Exceptional accuracy and attention to detail, particularly in relation to data entry and integrity.
4. Demonstrated decision making in an administrative context including organisational and time management skills.
5. Demonstrated digital literacy skills with a large range of software and systems relevant to research administration support, and the capacity to quickly learn new systems.
