Cybercampus is now recruiting one (1) Project Coordinator. 

Job description

As Project Coordinator at Cybercampus, you will be key in preparing project proposals, primarily for the EU and other international and national funding bodies. You will be responsible for coordinating consortia in developing project proposals, and your role may also include leading Cybercampus’ participation as a partner in proposals coordinated by other organisations. When a submitted proposal is accepted, you will assist the incoming project manager, for example, with the Grant Agreement Preparation (GAP) phase and project agreements.  

The role may involve additional tasks, such as developing working methods and routines and monitoring national, EU, and other international calls for funding as Cybercampus evolves. Responsibilities may evolve as the organisation grows, and not all tasks described may be undertaken immediately. It is essential that the person appointed can operate effectively independently and as a team member, and adapt in a changing environment. 

You will work closely with colleagues responsible for research, innovation, education, and infrastructure within Cybercampus. 

The position involves both domestic and international travel. 

What we offer

• A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future.
• Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment.
• Work in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature.
