About the Role
As the ISRF’s Academic Events & Fellowship Co-ordinator you will be contributing to the Foundation’s day-to-day activities, with both academic and administrative responsibilities.
On the one hand, you will be actively contributing to the academic work of the Foundation: handling academic enquiries from prospective applicants, recruiting external assessors (peer reviewers) for grant applications, organising and hosting ISRF Events (such as workshops, conferences, and seminars etc.), liaising with ISRF Fellows and associates, and supporting the work of the Director of Research and the Academic Editor.
On the other hand, you will be supporting administrative processes within the office, which may include database and spreadsheet management, website content management, social media posting, and supporting the work of the Administrator.
This is a uniquely varied and wide-ranging role within a small team, which will offer the opportunity to develop a variety of skills and interests, both academically and administratively. There will be significant room for academic specialisation and intellectual input into the ISRF’s programme of activities, and opportunities to engage with a diverse range of academics across multiple social science & humanities disciplines. As such, the post would be ideal for a PhD holder with expertise in one of the Foundation’s core research interests, as well as an interest in broader, interdisciplinary social sciences, arts and humanities.
