- EMBL Heidelberg

EMBL is Europe’s life sciences laboratory - an intergovernmental organisation with more than 110 independent research groups and service teams covering the spectrum of molecular biology. It operates across six sites in Heidelberg (headquarters), Barcelona, Cambridge, Grenoble, Hamburg and Rome. Our mission is to perform basic research in molecular biology; train scientists, students and visitors at all levels; offer vital services to scientists in the public and private sectors within the member states; develop new instruments and methods; and engage actively in technology transfer.

The EMBL Head of Internal Audit provides an independent and objective assurance to the Director General with a view to evaluating and improving the Laboratory’s risk management effectiveness, internal control and governance processes in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The Head of Internal Audit reports directly to the Director General on all audit matters.

The role is expected to examine and evaluate EMBL’s activities with a view to assisting leadership and management in the effective discharge of their responsibilities. The Head of Internal Audit through the assessment of activities provides the Director-General with an assurance as to the reliance that can be placed upon the activities, controls and processes evaluated. Specifically, the post holder examines and evaluates the adequacy and effectiveness of EMBL’s systems of internal control and the extent to which they meet established standards.

Areas that are supported include:

- monitoring of adherence and compliance with EMBL´s rules and regulations through the systematic assessment of its processes and whether operations and programmes are carried out as planned.
- consistency of results with objectives and goals as well as the economy, efficiency and effectiveness with which resources are deployed.
- safeguarding of processes that link to the laboratories’ assets and interests, with a view to the deterrence of fraud, theft or loss of any kind.
- reliability and integrity of data and information collected and the means used to process data and report information.
