Arrangements for grant funded posts

100% Grant Funded

Requests for professional & support posts and research posts will need to be made by completing the staff expenditure authorisation form (sections 1, 2, 3 and 8). These roles do not need approval from the Master but do require the additional confirmation of funding by the Research Grants & Contracts Office prior to action by HR.

Requests for academic positions will need to be made as previously outlined with the additional confirmation of funding by the research grants office prior to authorisation by the Master.

Co-funded

Requests for co-funded research positions i.e. those partially funded by grant funds, will need to be made as previously outlined above in the Academic, Senior Management or Grade 2 to 8 processes. In addition, confirmation of funding by the Research Grants & Contracts Office will be sought.

This process will also apply to posts that are grant funded but that at the end of the grant there is a requirement for Birkbeck to offer a School funded role (such as an academic fellowship).
