Vacancy Director UNU-CRIS

The Director is the chief academic and administrative officer of UNU-CRIS and has overall responsibility for the direction, organisation, administration, and programmes of the Institute on behalf of the Rector of UNU. The Director’s qualifications should lend to UNU-CRIS the necessary prestige in the international scholarly community, guaranteeing scientific excellence through internal quality control and providing leadership and guidance for the conduct of UNU-CRIS activities.

Key responsibilities for the next director will be the diversification of funding available for the work of UNU-CRIS, placing the Institute on a path of sustainable growth, strengthening the position of UNU-CRIS within the Flemish university landscape, and building up close collaboration ties with researchers at the Universities of Brussels (VUB) and Ghent, the new home base for UNU-CRIS.
