**Purpose of the role**
The jobholder will work closely with EMBL’s Strategic, International relations and Scientific teams to coordinate and identify new funding opportunities where EMBL’s capabilities in scientific research, the provision of scientific services and training have the potential to contribute to funders’ and EMBL goals in a complementary way.

- Review and streamline EMBL’s grants administration and promote a culture of excellent customer service to EMBL’s wider scientific community.
- Oversee and work with the multi-sited grants team to review, negotiate and finalise individual grant agreements, consortium agreements and other
