Network Coordinator

The Royal College of Art, in partnership with South East Technological University, is seeking a proactive Network Coordinator to support the operational delivery of an innovative AHRC-funded research initiative. Connecting Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and museum and gallery practitioners across the UK and Ireland, this project explores participatory cultural production through Collaborative Equality Research Laboratories, shared workshops, and reciprocal mobility visits.

Working closely with the Project Leads, you will serve as the central point of contact for the network-managing event logistics, coordinating international travel, maintaining project plans, and supporting funder reporting and research governance. You will act as the key point of contact for participating ECRs, academic mentors, and cultural sector partners, ensuring that equality, diversity, and accessibility are embedded across all network activities.

We are looking for an organized, highly collaborative individual with proven project coordination experience in higher education, research, or the cultural sector. You will possess exceptional communication skills, sound judgment, strong digital literacy, and a track record of building positive relationships across institutional boundaries. Experience supporting UKRI/AHRC projects or cross-institutional partnerships is highly desirable.
