Job description Post Head of Administration and Finance Department Department of Biology Division Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division (MPLS) Location Oxford City Centre Grade and salary Grade 10: £61,198 - £70,918 with a discretionary range to £77,476 per annum with an Oxford Weighting of £1,500 per year to be applied with effect from 1 August 2024 (due to be implemented in the September payroll and backdated to 1 August 2024) Hours Full time (part-time applications will be considered) Contract type Permanent Reporting to Divisional Registrar and day-to-day to the Head of Department Application deadline 12 noon on Monday 16 September 2024 Vacancy reference 174634 Recruitment contacts HR: carol.baggiolini@biology.ox.ac.uk Additional information The University of Oxford is committed to equality and valuing diversity. All applicants will be judged on merit, according to the selection criteria. The role On 1 August 2022, the departments of Plant Sciences and Zoology merged to form the new department of Biology. Biology is already a large and internationally prominent department, with world-class research activity involving a very significant network of national and international collaborations. The department has an annual turnover of some £27m, with over 450 undergraduate students, over 225 postgraduate students and approximately 450 academic and professional services staff. Along with the Department of Chemistry, Biology is co-host for the INEOS Oxford Institute (IOI) for Antimicrobial Research. The IOI is undertaking urgent cutting-edge research into antimicrobial resistance (AMR), one of the greatest international health threats of our time. Other large-scale initiatives are in the pipeline, including a collaborative partnership with a corporate funder to establish an Oxford Hub for Global Sustainability. This would offer opportunities to mobilise research into the biodiversity-climate crisis, and drive this into corporate and wider public practice globally, with the associated opportunities for innovation and commercialisation. Another recent success (in partnership with the School of Geography & the Environment) is the establishment of a Leverhulme Centre. The latter is likely to attract additional funding. In September 2024, a new Head of Department will start in post and, in 2025, the department, along with the department of Experimental Psychology, will move into the new Life and Mind Building (LaMB). The LaMB is the largest building project the University has ever undertaken and will significantly improve the way in which biological and psychological science is undertaken in Oxford, helping scientists to solve major global challenges. The funding and delivery of the building is being undertaken in partnership with Legal & General. With a project cost of around £200m and a gross internal area of 25,000m2, the building will be home to 800 students and 1,200 researchers. Biology currently occupies different buildings in the city centre which will add an additional layer of complexity to the move. The role of Head of Administration and Finance in Biology is an exciting and demanding one, offering the opportunity to help shape a new department whilst ensuring that the existing and diverse academic strengths in Plant Sciences and Zoology continue to flourish. You will play a crucial role in supporting the new Head of Department and colleagues in the management of the department, and will act as the department’s professional services lead, taking responsibility for supporting the formulation and implementation of departmental strategy and the delivery of outstanding professional services support for academic staff, researchers and students. The Head of Administration and Finance also provides experienced, supportive and visible leadership and line management to the professional services teams in Biology. The team is made up of the functional leads for Finance, Grants, HR, Buildings Management, Facilities, Research Facilitation, IT, Student Administration, Teaching Labs, Health & Safety and Communications & Engagement. Through these teams you will have oversight of the effective and efficient day-to-day operational management of the department in delivering its academic mission, with overall responsibility for around 90 staff and up to 10 direct reports. Significant experience of people, financial and risk management will be essential. You will need to bring a collaborative, proactive and forward-looking approach to the role, underpinned with commitment, energy and visible leadership to help take Biology through this critical next phase. You will need to anticipate and manage potential operational and strategic issues, identify sound solutions to problems that arise and implement decisions effectively. You will excel at personnel management, effectively building relationships at all levels effectively interfacing with and influencing results and have the intellectual capacity and strength of character to take and implement important, complex, and difficult decisions. You will have sound judgement under pressure and be able to think laterally and creatively. You will be capable of commanding the respect of the diverse members of the department including academic and research staff and professional services staff. You will work collaboratively with the MPLS Divisional Office and build highly effective working relationships with your peers in collaborator departments and institutions within MPLS and beyond. You will have significant management experience in an academic, or closely related, environment and a proven ability to manage risks and respond positively to new challenges. A key part of your remit will be the development of visible and effective partnerships working across the department, as exemplified by the way you and the new HoD will be working together, as well as the creation of a ‘one team’ approach across the professional services team. You will ensure that there is full alignment, subject to resource constraints, between the management of the department’s operations and the academic priorities for research and teaching. Together with the new Head of Department and the academic senior management team, you will be proactive and innovative in contributing to the development of future strategic, financial, and business plans and the acquisition of funding for the Department. You will act as a powerful advocate for Biology at all levels – within the Department, across MPLS and the wider University, and externally. Research in Biology has important crossovers with biomedical sciences, the physical sciences, social sciences, and the humanities. It is likely that more institutes or centres will be created in future, requiring a substantial element of cross-departmental, cross-divisional, and/or cross-university collaboration, including with their administration. The Head of Administration and Finance will be involved at an early stage of any proposals for the development for such initiatives and will be responsible for ensuring that the requirements for professional support and departmental oversight have been effectively planned for, costed and implemented. This will include an assessment of the benefits and risks involved in shared administration and clarity around responsibilities and accountabilities. The same principles will apply where activity takes place overseas either with collaborator institutions or sub-contracts in-country. The Head of Administration and Finance will put frameworks in place for costing an appropriate level project management support for the activity, highlighting potential risks and proposing mitigations and seek additional professional advice where required to ensure that the department can meet its obligations when reporting to funders, and any in-country legal/regulatory requirements.
