Full-time

We are recruiting a Life Sciences Project Manager (m/f/d) to be responsible for the implementation of two recently awarded H2020 projects, where the CCRI is a key participant. The projects follow a long and established legacy in paediatric oncology, and both aim at continuing to advance patients' and survivors' access to better healthcare across Europe. One of the projects in particular is closely linked to the European Reference Network on Paediatric Cancer (ERN-PaedCan), which is coordinated by the CCRI, and aims to create a platform that integrates all ERN's research and innovation capacity through knowledge sharing, engagement with stakeholders in the rare disease domain and assembly of transdisciplinary research groups working across the global health spectrum.

The CCRI is involved in many research projects and since some are interconnected, the recruited Project Manager eventually might need to engage in additional tasks beyond the H2020 projects.

The recruited Project Manager is expected to work closely with the head of the Clinical Trial Unit for Studies & Statistics for Integrated Research & Projects (S2IRP), the head of the Research Management Office (RMO), and the manager of the ERN-PaedCan, to whom s/he should report on a regular basis.
