Programme Officer – R&I – Quantum

The Programme Officers will contribute to the preparation and implementation of the technical and administrative activities necessary to accomplish the mission and objectives of the Joint Undertaking, in particular to develop and support the European integrated world-class supercomputing, quantum computing and data infrastructure and a highly competitive and innovative HPC ecosystem. Programme Officers play a critical role in the Joint Undertaking’s interactions with external experts, stakeholders and the wider HPC and quantum computing communities.
The Programme Officers organise and are involved in the implementation of public procurements and grants (publication, opening, selection of experts, evaluation, logistics etc.), manage the selection process, monitor the execution of associated contracts and grant agreements, and ensure compliance with the prevailing rules and regulations. They act as contact points for beneficiaries and external stakeholders participating the JU’s operations, negotiate strategic, scientific, managerial and financial aspects of contracts and amendments and coordinate the work with other units of the JU on the respective operations, in particular with the financial and legal services. The management of operations from the evaluation of proposals throughout the project life cycles are central elements of their work in the Programme Office. Moreover, contributions to the JU’s public relations and communication activities are expected, including representing the JU at conferences, meetings and in panel discussions
