Elevate Project Administrator

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

The Institute for Transport Studies is seeking a dynamic individual to provide high quality administrative support for a research project on micro-mobility funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The Elevate project is investigating the decarbonisation potential of electric micro-mobility (e-bikes , e-scooters and e-cargo bikes).  

Your role will include dealing with administrative elements of the project, including internal and financial administration, external partner and stakeholder management, liaising across academic partners (Leeds, Oxford and Brighton). 

You will have excellent organisational and communication skills, the ability to work independently and to plan and prioritise your own workload. You will be a team player who can build effective working relationships with staff at both Leeds and with our partner organisations. Your role will involve a high degree of autonomy, so it is essential that you have an independent and proactive approach to decision making and exceptional attention to detail. You will be based within the Institute for Transport Studies which is one of the world’s leading centres for transport research and education.
