Senior IT Officer (System Administrator)

We are looking to recruit an experienced IT professional to join as Senior IT Officer (System Administrator) for a varied and responsible role across two departments in the Social Sciences Division.  The School of Anthropology (SAME), and the Oxford School of Global and Area Studies (OSGA) share an IT team, which is fully integrated into both departments.   Within the two Schools, you will be responsible for the physical and virtualised server infrastructure, IT security, resolving escalated incidents and problems, network management, taking on the technical lead in new IT projects, scripting, desktop build design and deployment of operating systems and software.

This is an ideal role for someone seeking the opportunity to lead projects and drive continuous improvement, within the supportive IT community of the University.  Training in the University’s own IT infrastructure and systems will be provided.

As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees’ wellbeing and this is reflected in the range of benefits that we offer. The University of Oxford holds an institutional Silver Athena Swan award, acknowledging the progress made in addressing a number of gender gaps across the University.  Applications are particularly welcome from black and minority ethnic candidates who are under-represented in professional services in Oxford.

The IT Manager, Robert Highman, is happy to take informal inquiries about the role: [email protected].

The deadline for applications is Wednesday 3rd April 2024 at 12 noon.

We expect to interview on 16th April 2024.
