More about EMBL-EBI


The Research Management Office (RMO) at EMBL-EBI provides a high level of scientific administrative support to the EMBL-EBI faculty responsible for delivering the data services.

These services are used by millions of people globally and are the backbone of molecular biology research.

The data services teams are large, with complex funding portfolios that require careful management, provided by the RMO and the Service Team leads.


As a Research Management Officer, you will be responsible for portfolio management in the Genome Annotation and Assembly Section (a subset of EMBL-EBI faculty) reporting to the Section Head.


The Research Management Officer role will provide an exciting opportunity to develop skills in various areas, including expanding your knowledge of data services and how they operate, the international funding landscape, grants management, and financial forecasting.

The nature of the role is suited to someone with an entrepreneurial spirit, who can identify how best to assist their teams, and who is interested in identifying and solving complex problems.

Your role


You will report to the relevant Section Head and work closely and collaboratively with your counterparts within the same section and other Sections that form the EBI Services.

While your primary day-to-day responsibility will reside with the Team Leaders you support, we strive to ensure our services and processes are consistent and efficient across the entire EMBl-EBI Services.

Therefore you will be expected to liaise closely with your RMO colleagues to develop RMO-wide best practices and share learning experiences to ensure contextual knowledge is widely known.

This part of the role is under the responsibility of the Research Management Office Lead who coordinates the RMO team; it is possible that as part of this pan-RMO service you will on occasion need to work with other EMBL-EBI Service Teams or projects.

As a Research Management Officer, the main activities you will be involved in are:

Supporting the management of the ongoing activities and reporting for existing externally funded grants from the Wellcome, EU, NIH, UK Research and Innovation, and other funding bodies, in coordination with the EBI and EMBL grants offices.

Monitoring the internal and external budgets and staffing of the teams, for example by producing reports and analyses.
Arranging and planning strategic and project-;
Familiarity with modern technologies used for communicating, writing and monitoring progress;
Good knowledge of Microsoft office packages, including Word and Excel.
