Are you an effective administrator with experience of supporting the day-to-day operations of a busy department, office, hotel or meeting venue?

The National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) is one of the six research centres supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).

In addition, NCAS provides UK research scientists and others with services and facilities in atmospheric science through the FAAM Airborne Laboratory, the Atmospheric Measurement and Observations Facility, the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis, and the Computational Modelling Services. The annual budget is approximately £30m. NCAS is entirely embedded within several universities and other organisations, including the universities of Leeds, Manchester, York, Reading and Cranfield along with the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. NERC contracts the University of Leeds as the lead organisation, for NCAS, with the other organisations operating under sub-contracts. All NCAS staff are employed by their local institutions.
