The successful candidate will report to the Lead PI (Prof Michela Bertolotto) at UCD and the Programme Steering Committee, providing leadership in all aspects of financial planning, administration, and management of the project. The Project Manager will be a key member of the management team and support the PIs in adhering to the work-plan, its associated work packages, tasks, deliverables, and milestones over the three years of the programme. They will oversee R&D activities, identify new collaborative research opportunities, coordinate research personnel and stakeholders, and review/update the research work-plan and risk register as appropriate. Key responsibilities include acting as the main contact point with project partners, the management of the project budget, producing reports, and liaising with Enterprise Ireland.
