We are seeking a full-time PA to Professors of Information Engineering to join the Oxford Robotics Institute / Oxford e-Research Centre at the Department of Engineering Science (central Oxford). The post is permanent.
Are you an experienced Personal Assistant who is looking for a new challenge? We are looking for an experienced Personal Assistant to support time to be split between Prof Posner in Oxford Robotics Institute and Prof Armour in Oxford e-Research Centre. This is a permanent post. We would ideally like someone to be in the office most of the week. However, working arrangements will be discussed with the successful candidate.
You will be responsible for supporting all administration for these professors, including diary management, expense submissions, co-ordinate events and travel, update websites, and collating and presenting data.
This is a demanding and pivotal position where you are responsible for ensuring that critical tasks are completed, and that day-to-day organisation and communication works effectively across a number of large research groups. You will work closely with colleagues within the department, the division and across the university to ensure coordination on relevant issues.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Excellent IT skills, communication skills and interpersonal skills are essential, as are excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage deadlines. You should also be self-motivated, resilient, with a proactive approach, and commitment to high standards.
