Outreach Administrator

**About the role**



The Mathematical Institute and Department of Statistics are internationally
renowned departments which work closely together and deliver joint
undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. Our mathematical research, impact and
environment have twice been ranked first in the UK, in the 2021 and 2014
Research Excellence Framework exercises, a government review of research in
all UK universities. The two departments are committed both to academic
excellence and the opportunity to study for all enthusiastic and gifted
prospective undergraduates.





Reporting to the Admissions and Outreach Coordinator, you will be part of a
small and busy team of professional administrators responsible for the
efficient and smooth running of outreach initiatives in mathematical sciences,
working to support the departments’ progress towards their equality, diversity
and inclusion goals, including their Athena SWAN and Race Equality Action
Plans. Whilst undergraduate outreach initiatives will occupy the majority of
your time, the two departments are beginning to develop postgraduate
initiatives which you will also be expected to support. You will contribute to
the planning, delivery and evaluation of outreach initiatives, including
events, working with potential applicants, teachers, faculty and professional
services colleagues from across the collegiate University, as well as a
variety of internal and external partners.





You will provide a professional, efficient and friendly first point of contact
for enquiries; be a self-starter and an enthusiastic team player.
