Project Coordinator at Cybercampus Sweden

Cybercampus Sweden (Cybercampus) is a national initiative and collaboration between universities, research institutes, as well as the public and private sectors across Sweden.

Cybercampus is tasked with conducting groundbreaking, agile, and interdisciplinary research, innovation, and education in cybersecurity and cyber defense, benefiting all sectors of society. Cybercampus addresses needs that are not met by other actors in the field and aims to achieve results that go beyond what individual organizations can accomplish on their own. By strengthening cybersecurity, improving cyber defense capabilities, and increasing Sweden's competitiveness, Cybercampus serves as a unifying national force that builds capacity and competence throughout the country.

KTH is the host organization for Cybercampus, and the staff is primarily located in Stockholm. The team consists of about fifteen competent colleagues, each with their own area of responsibility, working together towards common goals and sharing tasks and experiences.

Cybercampus is now seeking one (1) project coordinator.

Responsibilities

As a project coordinator at Cybercampus, you will play a key role in the work of preparing project applications to the EU as well as other international and national funders. You will be responsible for coordinating consortia in the work of preparing project applications and/or leading Cybercampus's participation as a partner in applications coordinated by other organizations. Once an application is approved, you will support the incoming project manager in areas such as the project's initial establishment and in the work with relevant agreements.

The position may include additional tasks, such as developing working methods and routines as well as monitoring EU calls and other international and national announcements. The tasks may evolve as Cybercampus develops and the organization grows. Not all of the described tasks will necessarily be able to be performed from the start. It is important that you can work effectively both independently and in a team, and have the ability to adapt to a changing environment.

You will work closely with colleagues who are engaged in research, innovation, education, and infrastructure within Cybercampus.

Travel in the position may occur, both domestically and internationally.

• Good knowledge of the opportunities available in research funding at the EU, national, and international levels, as well as related rules and procedures.
• Very good skills in MS Office and experience with digital collaboration and communication tools.
