About us
The UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) is the biggest UK initiative supporting research to fill the major knowledge gap in our basic understanding of the diseases that cause dementia.
Research from UK DRI at UCL covers the journey from the patient to the laboratory and back to the patient with improved diagnosis, biomarkers and candidate therapies put to the test.
About the role
We are seeking a Centre Research Administrator to support the Centre Manager with the provision of a high-quality operational and administrative support function to scientists and their laboratory research teams within the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) at UCL, helping to ensure the smooth running of the Centre.

About you
