Grants Advisor

• Join our Research Office Grants team and foster CSIRO’s research excellence
• Play a key role in delivering the internal grants portfolio
• A dynamic, fast-paced role at Australia’s National Science Agency

The Research Office (RO) at CSIRO promotes research excellence by investing in high-quality, high priority research and fostering the development and recognition of research talent. CSIRO are seeking two Grants Advisors to contribute to the delivery of the internal grants portfolio (ResearchPlus) and support engagement with external funding programs. 

As the Grants Advisor, you will administer the full ResearchPlus (R+) program cycle. Your role will involve pre-award activities including application and assessment cycles, as well as post-award activities such as providing support to grantees. You’ll monitor and report on the performance of selected programs and play a key role in ensuring they’re efficiently administered to align with CSIRO’s strategy. 

You have experience providing high level administrative support and proactively contributing to a dynamic, fast paced office environment. You’re organised and have a high attention to detail, which sees you efficiently manage conflicting deadlines and priorities. As the RO Grants Advisor, you’ll engage with a diverse cohort of internal/external stakeholders, so strong communication skills will be key to your success. 

This is an exciting opportunity to join CSIRO’s RO Grants team and support the researchers who are transforming our tomorrow today. If you are looking for a dynamic role at a purpose-lead organisation, this could be the role for you!
