Doctoral Training Programme Manager
The Researcher Academy at the University of Nottingham is a unique network for researchers and the staff who support them. It provides training, leadership and professional development opportunities for researchers at all career stages from doctoral researchers to senior professors. It also supports the management and administration of the University’s £120 million portfolio of doctoral training programmes, funded by major research funders.
We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated individual to the role of DTP Manager to manage a Doctoral Landscape Award and join our team of Doctoral Training Programme (DTP) staff.

The post-holder will work closely with the DLA Academic Director and Executive, and with colleagues across the university, and will require the ability to develop effective working relationships across a range of stakeholders.
The role sits within the Researcher Academy and will report to the Head of Doctoral Training Programmes. The post holder will form part of a team of DLA/DTP Managers based in the Researcher Academy, and a larger group of doctoral programme managers across the university.
