Job description

The British Academy – the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences - is seeking an Early Career Researcher Network Assistant to join the busy ECRN team in the Research Directorate, providing key support in the delivery of the Early Career Researcher Network (ECRN).

The Network aims to create an inclusive, supportive environment where early career researchers (ECRs) can develop their skills, expand their professional networks, and access opportunities that strengthen their career prospects. The Network is driven by the needs and interests of ECRs, promoting equality of opportunity and encouraging diverse participation. Through regional and national connections, intersectoral collaboration, and a programme of skills development, events, and networking, the ECRN enables more researchers to realise their potential and engage with the wider research community.

The ECRN went national at the end of 2025 and is now approaching 10,000 members, making this a particularly exciting time to join a dynamic and growing team. The Network is expanding its reach, strengthening its programme of events and opportunities, and deepening engagement with early career researchers across the UK.

The role

Reporting to the Head of ECRN, the post holder will provide core administrative and coordination support for the Early Career Research Network (ECRN), ensuring the smooth running of its operations, events, and communications. Working closely with colleagues in the team, they will help establish effective systems and processes that underpin the Network’s growth and delivery. The role involves regular interaction with researchers, universities, Academy Fellows, and colleagues across the Academy, requiring excellent organisation, communication, and stakeholder‑management skills.

They will be responsible for managing the ECRN inbox, supporting internal reporting, maintaining financial and administrative records, and ensuring timely information flow across teams. A key part of the role will be supporting the planning and delivery of the ECRN’s programme of online and in‑person events, including the biannual ECRN Forum, by liaising with venues, coordinating logistics, preparing papers, and providing on‑the‑day support. The post holder will also work with communications colleagues to help promote ECRN activities, including the Network’s podcast.

This is a varied and collaborative role, ideal for someone who enjoys building efficient processes, supporting events, and contributing to a programme that strengthens opportunities for early career researchers.

About the Academy

The British Academy is the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences, established by Royal Charter in 1902. We mobilise these disciplines to understand the world and shape a brighter future. Today’s complex challenges can only be resolved by deepening our insight into people, culture, and societies. With a Fellowship of around 1700 leading national and international academics, the Academy invests in researchers and projects across the UK and overseas; engages the public with fresh thinking and debates; and brings together scholars, government, business, and civil society to influence policy.

The Academy currently has five directorates: Communications & Marketing; Development; Policy; Research; and Resources, plus a small Governance & Fellowship Team. We have increased staffing in the last 12 months and expect to continue to grow this year.

Working at the Academy

Our senior management team have worked with staff to foster a culture of collaboration, respect, and empathy, in which all contributions are recognised as we work towards our common goals. Our people strategy and working practices focus on building strengths and sharing insights, with learning & development, wellbeing, and equality, diversity & inclusion at the centre of how we operate as an organisation. Investing in our staff and encouraging a healthy work/life balance is central to our success, as we move forward and continue to grow. Find out more about the British Academy, including our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Statement.

Terms and conditions

The British Academy is based at 10-11, Carlton House Terrace, London SW1, a Grade 1 listed building. We offer a competitive benefits package including a 35-hour working week, with hours and location worked flexibly under our hybrid-working policy; 34 days’ annual leave plus Bank Holidays; a subsidised canteen and an excellent occupational pension.

How to apply

We use Applied for our recruitment. Applied aims to overcome unconscious bias in recruiting. Instead of using CVs, candidates are asked to answer questions that test skills needed for the role. The responses are then anonymised and reviewed in a random order by members of the hiring panel.

Closing date: Midday on 7 May 2026 (we reserve the right to close this vacancy early should we receive a high volume of applications).

Interviews for this role are currently scheduled for 21 May 2026, but this may be subject to change.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, reflecting our commitment to a diverse and inclusive working environment, equal opportunity and addressing under-representation. We will make reasonable adjustments for disabled applicants and offer an interview to those meeting the minimum selection criteria
