Job description
Some of the main areas of work of the centre include:
– Environmental technologies and nature-based solutions.
– Management and valorisation of organic waste.
– Reduction of greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions.
– Production of biofertilisers and biostimulants.
– Sustainability assessment of agri-food products and processes.
– Promotion of regenerative agriculture, agroecology, and territorial bioeconomy.
We are seeking a candidate with strategic vision and the ability to translate scientific knowledge into practical and policy-oriented recommendations. The selected person will join the Governance for Sustainability Unit and will undertake a transversal role in collaboration with the other units of the centre that provide scientific insight and expertise. Their main objective will be to ensure that results generated in R&D&I projects translate into real impact through their capitalisation, strategic dissemination, and integration into public policies, governance frameworks, and territorial management practices.
Their work will focus especially on innovation projects aimed at developing new governance models for the nutrient cycle, such as NENUPHAR, SEACURE, GREENHOOD, or AQUAGRI-KNOW. In these projects, they will assume coordination and technical implementation tasks related to the design and analysis of governance frameworks, the integration of scientific evidence into participatory processes, and the formulation of recommendations for public administrations and other stakeholders. They will also contribute to the preparation of analytical and strategic documents, evaluation reports, recommendation guides, or result syntheses aimed at supporting decision-making.
• Coordinate and carry out activities of European projects related to governance and knowledge capitalisation, particularly in the field of sustainable nutrient management.
• Prepare synthesis and policy-oriented documents (policy briefs, strategic reports, regulatory recommendations) based on scientific evidence from R&D&I projects.
• Organise and coordinate knowledge transfer activities: technical workshops, participatory sessions, demonstrations, conferences, webinars, and technical visits.
• Maintain direct and ongoing relationships with regional, national, and European administrations, as well as sector stakeholders, to ensure the transfer and adoption of results and to identify needs, define new projects, and support their implementation.
• Promote capitalisation, mainstreaming, and knowledge adoption strategies to ensure that the centre’s results generate real impact on policies and management practices.
• Identify funding opportunities and participate in drafting new proposals related to governance, nutrients, and bioeconomy.
• Represent CT BETA in consortia, events, and international networks focused on sustainable nutrient management and bioeconomy.
