About The Role
CDT Centre Administrator
This full-time post is available immediately on a fixed term basis until 31st October 2027. Applications for secondments from internal applicants will be considered subject to agreement from your current line manager.
The starting salary will be from £30,628 on Grade D, depending on knowledge, skills and experience. This role offers the opportunity for hybrid working - some time on campus and some from home. We welcome applications from candidates interested in working part-time hours.
The role supports the delivery of the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Environmental Intelligence: Data Science & Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Sustainable Futures, at the University of Exeter. Environmental Intelligence represents the use of Data Science & AI to create transformational science and tools to enable informed decision making across a range of sectors related to the environment, including climate, water, energy, finance and insurance, infrastructure and health. The rapidly growing availability of data from multiple, inter-related sources, provides the opportunity for a step-change in our ability to find solutions to important challenges related to our interaction with the natural environment. The CDT provides an inter-disciplinary training environment and has created a community of PhD students, equipping them with the skills to become tomorrows’ leaders in Environmental Intelligence with career prospects across academia and the public and private sectors.
