ENRIO hires a Project Manager

Job summary — responsibilities of the ENRIO Project Manager

You are responsible for ensuring that ENRIO meets the requirements of the SIMPLIFY project, funded by the European Commission, that aims to improve ethics and integrity in European countries and research institutions. You will lead the day-to-day work of ENRIO in the project. In close collaboration with the members of ENRIO, you will

• organise and prepare working group meetings, and collect the expertise of working group members;
• take primary responsibility for drafting project deliverables, under the supervision of working groups chairs and the ENRIO board;
• oversee all deadlines related to ENRIO’s obligations and commitments in the project, and take due actions to ensure timely delivery of outputs (project management);
• communicate and liaise with stakeholders and partners;
• prepare and deliver regular internal reports about project activities to the ENRIO board and members.

Based on the content you harvest from (i) the expert groups you organise, (ii) public sources through desk research and (iii) further consultation with project partners, you are responsible to develop/curate content such as:

• thematic position papers about challenges related to research integrity, identifying risks and needs;
• an EU-wide register of research integrity contact points (and perhaps a repository of case reports and decisions);
• actionable guidance and practices to support research institutions (e.g. workflows, templates, standards);
• implementation-readiness criteria and indicators.

Profile — who we are looking for

• You hold a Master’s degree or equivalent by experience.
• You have an affinity with the research world. Relevant experience in academia (as researcher or administrator) is a plus. However, you are aware that this position is not a researcher job.
• You have a background or relevant experience in research integrity or related areas, such as research ethics, open science, reproducibility, researcher assessment, RRI … You’re committed to the topic of responsible research.
• You work accurately. Scheduling tasks, following up on emails and keeping track of to-do’s are not a challenge for you.
  You have a demonstrated ability to meet deadlines and show personal efficacy and effective time management.
• You can work independently as well as function well in a team.

• Are a plus, not a must:
  • experience in project management work
  • experience in stakeholder engagement 
  • experience working in transnational teams
• You are fluent in English.

• You have a residential address in Belgium, or you are willing to relocate to Belgium.
