The Research Department - Europe Unit is recruiting:

Context:

The ULB Liaison Office within the ULB Research Department is acting as a proxy, supporting researchers along the entire lifecycle of their research projects and taking the role of an intermediary between research teams & funding agencies, national contact points, and other university services.

The Liaison Office team works closely with ULB researchers to transform their ideas into funded projects.

Research data management (RDM) is a set of actions aimed at ensuring that the data produced in a research project are FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable) and that data are "as open as possible, as closed as necessary" (Open Science principle in terms of data).

European, international, and national research funders are increasingly imposing RDM requirements. Researchers should take into account the management of research data before, during, and after their research project.

The Advisor on Research Data Management and Ethics should support researchers on 1) all aspects of research data management (data management plan (DMP), data collection, data storage, data sharing, and data archiving), 2) the ethical aspects involved in research projects in all research fields (life sciences, social sciences and humanities, exact sciences & engineering).
