Recruiting Research Assistants

Faculty members may wish to recruit a Research Assistant under the Research Assistant scheme operated by the Faculty. As part of the engagement, the Research Assistant can undertake aspects of organising an event.

As a starting point, if you would like to recruit a Research Assistant, it is essential that you review the information regarding recruiting Research Assistant. You should first notify the Research team of your intention, so that the costs associated with recruiting and paying the Research Assistant can be factored into your grant application. 

If the Faculty Events team is helping you organise your event, please notify the Events Manager that you have recruited a Research Assistant so that appropriate introductions and basic training on event organisation can take place. 

Research Assistants must be engaged by the Faculty and follow the standard recruitment process.
