Mathematics of Random Systems CDT Administrator

**Role Overview**





The Mathematical Institute wishes to appoint an enthusiastic individual with
excellent organisational skills as the Administrator for the EPSRC Centre for
Doctoral Training (CDT) in Mathematics of Random Systems, a new joint
initiative launched in February 2019 by the Mathematical Institute (Oxford),
the Department of Statistics (Oxford) and the Department of Mathematics,
Imperial College London.





This post presents an ideal opportunity to gain administrative experience in a
thriving academic environment, providing outstanding professional support for
the Centre, and working closely with colleagues in the wider department and at
Imperial College.





You will be responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Centre’s
activity including the development and implementation of processes and
procedures where necessary. You will be the first port of call for students
and faculty involved with the Centre and you will provide advice and guidance
as appropriate. You will play a key role in graduate recruitment and
admissions, and the organization of training and events, and you will provide
the CDT Director and Co-Directors with regular management information,
including the provision of financial and planning data. As an indication of
the scale of financial administration required, Random Systems had an initial
budget of approximately £8 M (core project funding from EPSRC), which is
supplemented by industrial funding from a range of sources.





The CDT Administrator is an essential member of the CDT management team. Your
professional reporting line will be to the Deputy Head of Academic
Administration and you will work closely with the departmental Finance
Manager, but on a day-to-day basis you will report to the Centre’s Director,
Professor Rama Cont (Oxford) and the Co-Directors, Professor Ben Hambly
(Oxford) and Professor Thomas Cass (Imperial). You will be expected to work
closely with all three departments involved in the Centre: The Mathematical
Institute (Oxford), the Department of Statistics (Oxford) and the Department
of Mathematics, Imperial College.
