Nancy Rawlings
MSc. Neuroscience, DPhil
OxCIN Business Manager
As OxCIN Business Manager I oversee processes around centre finance and billing, research grants and contracts, and ethics applications. Along with our Research Manager, Iske Bakker, I lead the WIN admin team. Overall, the team is responsible for the day-to-day running of the centre.
I have worked at OxCIN since completing my DPhil in the Psychiatry Department, first as a post-doctoral research assistant in the Plasticity Group and then as a lab manager for Heidi Johansen-Berg, and more recently as research manager for the centre.
