LSE is a leading social science institution and one of the most influential in the world. Our researchers are world-leading thinkers on the issues that matter most. The mission of LSE Research and Innovation (R&I) is to develop and sustain an environment that makes LSE the best possible place to do excellent, impactful research.
The R&I Funds Manager runs LSE's internal funding schemes end-to-end and manages the implementation of the School's hypothecated and block funding, including budget allocation, financial oversight, monitoring and reporting on the use of funds. The postholder also leads the assessment processes behind the schemes, from funding packs and peer review through to papers for senior committees, and develops the databases and trackers that underpin reporting and decision-making across the Division.
