Why the University of Southern Denmark?
The University of Southern Denmark (SDU) is a young and dynamic university founded in 1966, and the fourth-largest university in Denmark. Remarkably, SDU has for decades been acknowledged for delivering both excellence in basic research and substantial societal impact.

Description of work

The team is part of the university’s central research support and works closely with researchers and the local faculty support units to win societal impact-oriented collaborative grants.
The position offered is broad and interesting as you will be involved in all aspects of the pre-award process. This includes advising researchers on funding strategy, relevant funding programs and potential consortium partners, as well as communicating the importance of research policy aspects, representing researchers in European networks, participating in concept and project development, and in proposal writing. You will need to understand and respond to new trends in the funding and policy landscape, in order to best promote the university's researchers and their European research agendas. You will also work to support initiatives and knowledge-sharing across the university, and you will help to build ‘next practice’ in support.

We are looking for applicants who:
- Are passionate about international research-based collaboration, especially in relation to cross-sectorial collaborations.
- Preferably have experience from the Horizon 2020 and/or Horizon Europe funding programs.
- Are proposal writers with a deep understanding of the organization and impact aspects of research and innovation projects - or who wish to gain specialist experience in this area.
- Are familiar with European network building and research funding programs.
- Are both proactive and self-managed, as well as co-creation and team oriented.
- Find it natural to share knowledge and build relations with their collaborators.
- Are strong communicators able to communicate complex issues to different audiences.
- Are fluent in English speech and writing.

The job offer

You will work with competent and committed colleagues from across SDU's organization, including other SDU RIO teams (business developers as well as policy, legal, ethics and strategy advisors) and the faculty research support offices, to provide professional and committed support for SDU's researchers. You are therefore expected to perform both as a specialist and as a team member. You will work with highly relevant international projects from many of SDU's research environments and sometimes face demanding tasks or deadlines. However, you will make a difference for SDU’s researchers and research environments and thereby help to transform research visions into concrete projects that will ultimately impact positively on society.
