One of the three pillars of the University of Luxembourg is scientific research. The Principal Investigators (PI) are conducting research projects with their scientific team. They are supported by administrative, financial, and technical staff to perform the administrative and operational tasks of the project. The support includes providing analytic and financial project information to the PI, to the University management, and to the external funders and their auditors.

Your role

The University is developing a digital solution, CRIS-Current Research Information System, to monitor and organise the administrative tasks along the lifecycle of a research project. The CRIS project is live. Its current challenges are twofold : to focus on the user's adoption and to finalise the end-to-end coverage of the digital solution, especially for the multi-year execution of research projects. Centred on people in the Faculties, Interdisciplinary Centres (IC) and Central Services, the CRIS team facilitates the quality build-up, the process formalisation, and the continuous improvement of the solution.

The project officer will provide quality and process support, join the CRIS project team, and report to the Head of the Research Support Department. The job holder will contribute to the optimal design and documentation of processes to ensure compliance with the PI's expectations, internal guidelines, and external rules from the funders.
