The InstituteThe Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an international biomedical research institute of excellence, based in Barcelona, Spain, with more than 400 scientists from 44 countries. The CRG is composed of an interdisciplinary, motivated and creative scientific team which is supported both by a flexible and efficient administration and by high-end and innovative technologies.In April 2021, the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) received the renewal of the 'HR Excellence in Research' Award from the European Commission. This is a recognition of the Institute's commitment to developing an HR Strategy for Researchers, designed to bring the practices and procedures in line with the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (Charter and Code).The roleThe EGA Team at CRG is leading or participating in several international projects that cover a broad domain of aspects related to open science, data sharing, sensitive human data management in the context of biomedical research on oncology, rare diseases, cardiovascular, neurological, infectious diseases, etc. The team is also involved in the definition of the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health's (GA4GH) Beacon protocol, and its deployment in research and healthcare institutions. The GA4GH Beacon is a protocol for helping in the secure discovery of patient cases or genomic variations data and knowledge, aiming to speed up the translational process from research to bedside. The team also contributes to other GA4GH projects and standards, as well as to the Spanish efforts in Precision Medicine through the IMPaCT-DATA Project (Infrastructure of Precision Medicine associated with Science and Technology).The Program Manager role would be to contribute to spread the word about, amongst others, the services provided by EGA, the results of the projects where EGA is participating and any novelty about the GA4GH Beacon evolution and implementations. The new team members will work closely with the EGA Team Leader, the Project Managers, the Beacon Team and coordinate with the relevant CRG departments as Communications Office or the International and Scientific Affairs (ISA) department.Additionally, the Program Managers will coordinate with the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), ELIXIR Europe (the European Infrastructure for Biological Data). The GA4GH and any other EGA partner or stakeholder when necessary and will be funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.About the teamThe European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA) is a service for secure archiving and sharing of all types of personally identifiable genetic and phenotypic data resulting from biomedical studies and healthcare centres. Jointly managed by the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) in Cambridge (UK), the EGA provides an invaluable service to the worldwide biomedical research community. The two teams, even if geographically split, collaborate on a daily basis.The EGA team at the CRG is composed of nearly 20 members coming from all around the globe and with diverse professional expertise: we have helpdesk officers, system administrators, bioinformatics, IT architects, web developers and project managers. Altogether, we are involved in several international projects in numerous scientific fields, where we bring our expertise in human genomic data management. Furthermore, our team continuously works to improve and to deploy new services, with the goal of adding value to the huge assets that EGA is responsible for. The EGA team is a multicultural and professionally diverse team. We offer a stimulating environment, with enormous learning and growing opportunities.Whom would we like to hire?Professional experienceMust HaveYou have experience in working in scientific environmentsYou have experience with participation in communications projectsYou have experience in producing content in science related topics for its use in training or disseminationDesirable but not required/ Nice to haveYou have experience in human sensitive data managementYou have experience in projects led by key organisations in the field, namely the Global Alliance in Health and Genomics (GA4GH) and ELIXIR EuropeEducation and trainingYou hold a Master Degree in biomedical sciences or bioinformatics or related topicsLanguagesYou have excellent levels of English and Spanish, both spoken and written, given these are the daily used languages for communication, with the team, local and international partners alikeTechnical skillsYou have experience in social network management (i.e. Twitter, YouTube)You have advanced MS Office & Google Docs skills, in particular presentation and documentsCompetencesYou are detail-oriented
