- Help to oversee affiliated research students
- Provide administrative oversight to ensure timely reporting to the funder and compliance with data protection and ethical regulations
- Provide pro-active and effective trouble-shooting for any problems that arise
- Responsible for overseeing research staff and students and tracking budgetary information across the entire project
