This friendly and dynamic group of around 70 researchers aims to understand how the brain works and to develop artificial learning systems (https://www.cbl-cambridge.org/).

You will provide general support to students, researchers and visitors as well as supporting the senior staff and the Head of the Group. You will be responsible for the monitoring of group finances, including grants held by the senior staff, and also support the wider Division by working on grant costings using the University's Worktribe costing tool.
