National Open Research Coordinator - 18-month FTC | Royal Irish Academy

"Ireland’s “National Framework on the Transition to an Open Research Environment”, prepared by the National Open Research Forum (NORF) was published in July 2019 and represents the ambition of the research community to engage with and deliver the Open Research agenda in Ireland. The Framework is a first step in the process of preparing a National Action Plan. 

The National Open Research Coordinator will play a key role in the national higher education landscape in driving the next phase of implementation of Ireland’s Open Research policy agenda. The successful candidate will be tasked with critically assessing Ireland’s preparedness to support the various components of the European Open Science/Open Research landscape, and preparing a roadmap on the development and delivery of a National Action Plan for the implementation of open research across Ireland.

This post is based at the Digital Repository of Ireland, within the Royal Irish Academy. This post will report to the NORF Co-Chairs in the first instance, via the Director of DRI and onward to the Open Research Core Oversight Group made up of representatives from the Department of Education and Skills, the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation, the Higher Education Authority, and the Health Research Board...."
