Ciara Wilton

Senior Research Project Manager

Background

I joined Edinburgh Research Office in 2022 to support the management and closure of a large, complex fellowship programme funded by the European Commission, as well as supporting with the management of a large GCRF UKRI project. I also led the Flexible Resource Centre early improvement initiative as part of the Growing Research Together Programme. In 2023, I took up the Senior Research Project Manager role and I now lead a team of project managers and administers who are deployed across the university to provide dedicated, professional, and embedded support to externally funded research projects, whilst also providing direct support to a number of research projects myself.
