About the team/job
We are seeking an experienced information professional with expertise in records management and archiving ideally in life sciences research institutions. The post will be based in the EMBL Office for Scientific Information Management, a new office with responsibility for the EMBL library, open science support, and EMBL archive and records. The post will be responsible for EMBL’s records management activities in support of the EMBL mission.
The archive and records management team consists of two staff members that are expected to work closely together to provide the necessary coordinated services across the entire records management and archiving workflow. Therefore we seek a flexible professional that is comfortable working across the full document lifecycle.
The scope of the EMBL archives and records management includes administrative and institutional documents as well as scientific records and materials. Therefore close cooperation with the scientific staff, an understanding of and enthusiasm for the working methods and results of the (life) sciences are required.

As EMBL is an intergovernmental organisation spread across six sites in Europe, this presents a unique context in which to apply your knowledge and expertise.

This position will have responsibility for reviewing and implementing the records management policy and procedures across all EMBL sites. In close cooperation with key stakeholders, your role will be
