The number and variety of international grant funded activities that Diamond is involved with has been steadily growing.  To support the grant-funded activity (in particular GCRF, Newton Fund and Rutherford Fellowship schemes), we require an experienced professional to manage the effective administration of international grants and collaborations, liaising with investigators internally and externally, funders and other internal teams as required.

If you are an organised and confident self-starter and have the ability to lead the management and administration of a broad range of grant and collaboration agreements, then you could be the person to make an important contribution to the future success of our science and technology-based organisation.
