Grants Advisor

Come join us at IXA-GO as Grants Advisor and strengthen the continuous development of VU’s research excellence.

Your function

The Grants Advisor will work with VU Amsterdam researchers from all faculties on developing competitive project proposals for national and European funding programmes, with a focus on consortium grants.

As a Grants Advisor, you will guide researchers in structuring persuasive, competitive research proposals that align with funder and institutional priorities and in managing the development of complex, interdisciplinary, and multi-partner submissions.  Depending on the project’s nature, you will work both independently and in a matrix team of grant advisors, programme managers, and project controllers. You will also deliver targeted communications and information sessions to keep researchers informed about relevant funding calls, deadlines, and strategic opportunities.
