Office: Göttingen State and University Library, Germany

Göttingen State and University Library (SUB Göttingen) is engaged in several

In this context, the European project "OpenAIRE – Open Access Infrastructure
for Research in Europe" is seeking a

Project Manager

Your responsibility will be to

* manage the project, working closely with the scientific, technical and
administrative coordinators of the project
* support the effective collaboration of all networking and liaison
partners, across organisational and technological developments
* develop and implement a broad scale advocacy and training programme
linking the Open Access and repository community to data archives, research
data management, scientific publishers and other stakeholders
* align with ongoing disciplinary and research data initiatives and results
of studies with regards to researchers’ practices, licensing and
sustainability issues

You will need:

* a Master’s degree
* excellent knowledge in digital information management, preferably in the
area of Open Access, repository infrastructures and services and research
data
* previous project management experience including the delivery of
high-profile, multi-agency projects
* good knowledge in computer science and/or copyrights are important assets
* excellent communication and organisational skills with a proven ability to
work with a wide range of internal and external contacts and stakeholders
* team spirit, curiosity, dynamism and sense of initiative
* fluent in English (spoken & written), German would be an asset but is not

This position offers you an interesting and varied work within a young and
dynamic international team in a pleasant working atmosphere. The post will
involve a certain amount of travel both within Europe and internationally.

This post is offered with immediate effect in a full-time position

renewal. Salary is expected to be ca. EUR 45.000 p.a. (depending on
experience; German salary schema for public employees). This post is
suitable for part-time employment.

The OpenAIRE project supports the implementation of the Open Access policies
of the European Commission and the European Research Council by delivering
an electronic infrastructure and supporting mechanism for the presentation
and monitoring of research articles (and to some extent related scientific
data) funded in seven disciplines (energy, environment, ICT, electronic
infrastructures, science in society etc.). Based on this, OpenAIREplus
extends and enhances the infrastructure by linking publications to
scientific datasets, enriching the information space and establishing
connections with other infrastructures. In both projects SUB Göttingen acts
as the scientific coordinator.

particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for women. Qualified
women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply.
