The University of Glasgow is seeking to appoint a talented and highly motivated Programme Manager to join the £10 million Gambling Harms Research and Evidence Centre, funded by UKRI via a statutory levy on the gambling industry. The Centre is a collaboration between the Universities of Glasgow, Sheffield, Swansea and Kings College London.

You will be responsible for the operational, risk and administrative management of the Programme, working alongside a Research Relationship Manager and supported by a Programme Administrator and a Knowledge exchange/Communications Lead.
