Vacancy Note: BBMRI-ERIC ELSI Helpdesk Coordinator

Job title: BBMRI-ERIC ELSI Helpdesk Coordinator

Job Location: The Central Executive Management Office of BBMRI‐ERIC in Graz, Austria

Duration: 2 years (24 months)

Job Purpose: The BBMRI-ERIC ELSI Helpdesk Coordinator is coordinating the Common Service ELSI Helpdesk and will be supervised by the Director of the BBMRI-ERIC Common Service ELSI.

Short description of BBMRI‐ERIC:

The pan‐European Biobanking and BioMolecular resources Research Infrastructure is a distributed bio‐medical and life science infrastructure for sustainable storage and dissemination of biobanked samples and associated data in Europe. On 3 December 2013, BBMRI was officially awarded the Community legal framework for a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). This specific legal form is designed to facilitate the joint establishment and operation of research infrastructures of European interest. BBMRI‐ERIC will provide access to the collections of partner biobanks and biomolecular resources, their expertise and services on a non‐economic basis.

BBMRI‐ERIC is an inclusive, equal‐opportunity employer offering attractive conditions and benefits appropriate to an international research organization. Further information on the aims, mission, governance, statutes of BBMRI‐ERIC can be found at www.bbmri‐eric.eu.

 

Key Responsibilities and Accountabilities of the Role

The Common Service ELSI is setting up a federated ELSI Helpdesk for the member states of BBMRI-ERIC. It’s going to be a federated model where ELSI experts from the National Nodes and/or Common Service ELSI will provide customized assistance to scientists when setting up and conducting biobank-related research projects. Requests will be forwarded to the ELSI Helpdesk Coordinator through BBMRI-ERIC’s request tracking system. Depending on the complexity of the questions, the coordinator will answer directly and/or organize the response with the support of one or several National Node/Common Service ELSI experts. Questions requiring input from national ethical and legal regulatory frameworks will be directed to the National Nodes. The Coordinator of the BBMRI-ERIC ELSI Helpdesk is thus responsible for coordinating the federated BBMRI-ERIC Common Service ELSI Helpdesk. He/she organises an ELSI team with representatives from the National Nodes and/or the Common Service ELSI including different kinds of expertise (e.g., law, ethics, and societal issues). He/she works under supervision of the Director of the Common Service ELSI. He/she manages and edits the information on the BBMRI-ERIC website as regards to the ELSI Helpdesk and its tools.

Requirements of the Role

The BBMRI-ERIC ELSI Helpdesk Coordinator is expected to have experience regarding the specific ethical, legal and societal issues of European biobanks, especially knowledge about both European and national laws. Hence, a legal background is considered a plus. Interpersonal skills, the ability to liaise with ELSI colleagues and stakeholders in a distributed, international, interdisciplinary environment are essential requirements. As English is the common working language of BBMRI‐ERIC applicants must be fluent in English. The jobholder will be asked from time to time to work outside normal working hours and occasionally to undertake national and/or international travel. We are seeking for highly motivated people with a minimum of a master’s degree and preferably with a PhD, (especially in law).

Employment Terms and Conditions

The BBMRI-ERIC ELSI Helpdesk Coordinator will be directly employed by BBMRI‐ERIC in its Central Executive Management Office in Graz, Austria. For jobholders coming from BBMRI-ERIC member states a secondment against reimbursement is possible. Details are subject to negotiation. The employment follows the Austrian employment law. BBMRI‐ERIC offers fringe benefits like complementary health insurance, and a private pension scheme, relocation and travel grant as well as local support for housing. It is a part‐time position (50%).
