CoNISMa – the National Interuniversity Consortium for Marine Sciences – is seeking one part-time temporary employee to assist in the preparation of European project proposals (e.g., Interreg programs, Horizon Europe, etc.), the implementation of those proposals, and reporting.
The tasks assigned to the employee will generally cover the following areas:
- Support for the consortium’s division dedicated to “European Project Development,” with the aim of strengthening internal expertise.

Specifically, each funding program uses its own web portals for project submission; therefore, it is necessary to learn how to use them quickly in order to manage the process independently.

This Notice serves as a preliminary screening of candidates based on their qualifications.
This organization reserves the right to invite preselected candidates to a subsequent interview via videoconference (or in person), while also providing information regarding the proposed employment contract, including job title, level, duties, and salary.
