Applications are invited for this office of Senior Assistant Registrary, to take up appointment as soon as possible. The School of the Biological Sciences contains two Faculties (Biology and Clinical Veterinary Medicine) and ten Departments, with a total of 238 academic staff and 583 unestablished research staff. The administration of the Faculty of Clinical Medicine, which is also within the School, is carried out at a local level. As the School's senior administrator, the person appointed will work closely with the Chairman of the School, act as Secretary to the Council of the School and some of its committees, and have responsibility for other administrative officers of the Unified Administrative Service within the School.

The Secretary is assisted by an Assistant Registrary, an Administrative Officer, and a secretarial team within the School Office. Candidates should be graduates, preferably (but not necessarily) with a degree in Biology, and be numerate, with substantial administrative experience, ideally within Higher Education.
The pensionable stipend for a Senior Assistant Registrary is £38,056 a year. The appointment will be for three years, unless that requirement is waived by the Council, with the possibility of reappointment to the retiring age.
