I keep coming back to this thread to see if we know what the job is. Come on, Mr D - tell us a little: When do you start?

Don't know when I start... was hoping to sort it out with my current manager (same department, different team) but she's constantly in meetings and I prefer to do stuff like this face-to-face so it doesn't get lost in a pile of emails.
Job is at the Research Councils' Shared Services Centre, who do all the finance and IT and HR work. I'll be in Human Remains. It's public sector too so I get awesome stuff like actual union representation.

Even though it's an admin role, in my own small way I am contributing to science in the UK!

Speaking of which, a few months ago I found out that my alma mater has one of only a handful of body farms in the US.

As gruesome as those are, they really are beneficial.

Unfortunately it's not the cool sort of Human Remains, but rather a humorous way of referring to Human Resources.
Still, at least it's not Marketing.
