 This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced research 
administrator to join an international team on a highly ambitious 
collaborative project.

This is a 0.5FTE, three-year (36 month) fixed-term post that begins on 1 
November 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The University of Huddersfield is committed to diversity and encourages 
all qualified applicants to apply, regardless of their background.
PSM-AP is a complex, collaborative project with a team of 9 researchers 
based across 6 countries that asks how the cultural and social values of 
public service media (PSM) are being transformed in the age of platforms 
and what factors are propelling or inhibiting change in different 
national contexts. The project is being led by Professor Catherine 
Johnson at the University of Huddersfield. The appointed research 
administrator would support Professor Johnson in the running of the 
project and other relevant research activities. This will include 
working with the project lead to set up and devise administrative 
processes to support the collaborative working of the distributed team 
of researchers and assisting the project lead in managing the project 
budget, ensuring compliance with the terms of the research funding, 
organising events and project meetings, developing and maintaining 
relevant databases, and supporting knowledge exchange activities.

The project involves four Work Packages, each led by a Principal 
Investigator based in the UK, Belgium, Poland or Denmark. Post-doctoral 
researchers based in the UK, Denmark, Belgium, Italy and Poland will 
work collaboratively together and with the PIs to gather and compare 
data related to each work package. The project will be supported by an 
international advisory board and includes multiple stakeholder 
engagement and knowledge exchange activities, including two workshops 
and a final conference. The role would suit an experienced administrator 
with the initiative to set up and manage administrative processes 
suitable for this kind of collaborative, distributed project.
