Nvk-303 - Technical Research Manager

.Context And MissionELIXIR (European Life Science Infrastructure for Biological Information) is a pan-European organization founded in 2014, which aims to integrate and harmonize European bioinformatics infrastructures.ELIXIR coordinates the participation of more than 20 countries; engages with other strategic European initiatives and projects ESFRI, Research Data Alliance, EUDat, EGI; promotes specific training activities and workshops on ELIXIR resources, partners with industry; and plays a key role inshaping the bioinformatics landscape.Spain has been a member of ELIXIR since 2015, with the INB as the Spanish national node. Within ELIXIR, the INB is responsible for the bioinformatics infrastructure offered by Spain, and therefore, should guarantee its alignment to the strategic areas put forward by ELIXIR.The INB coordinates the Data Science programme within the newly established Spanish infrastructure for Personalized Medicine associated with Science and Technology (IMPaCT in Spanish), which aims to establish an interoperable framework for biomedical data integration and analysis, addressing questions from clinicians through the implementation of computing systems in health environments.This programme will prepare clinical data in Spain for secondary use, including medical imaging, structured and non-structured clinical data, and genomics, considering all the necessary legal provisions for each possible use and setting.This programme will involve liaison with diverse stakeholders, including hospitals, the ISCIII, companies in the biomedical sector, the Spanish Medicines Agency, and biomedical researchers, among others.All developments will be aligned with European initiatives in the area, including those from ELIXIR, 1+Million Genomes, the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health, and data-sharing projects such as FAIR4Health, HealthyCloud, and TEHDAS.The INB seeks a technical research manager to join the team to support the IMPaCT Data Science programme's coordination, liaising with all stakeholders within and outside the BSC, and contributing to coordinating the technical tasks.Key DutiesPlan the use of resources and monitor the progress of work of research projects involving several partners, supporting the PI in keeping track of both technical and administrative tasks.Interface with BSC legal services, BSC researchers, and external parties, including negotiating, supervising the drafting and signing process of contracts (consortium agreements, NDAs, grant agreements, contracts with companies, etc.).Organize and participate in project meetings, teleconferences, reviews, and other events.Maintain communication with project stakeholders; participate in regular meetings and discussions.RequirementsEducationUniversity Degree (some relation with Life Sciences and/or IT will be an advantage)
