An intergovernmental organisation of 27 Member States, EMBL operates sites in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, and provides life science training and service programs globally.
We have an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated, enthusiastic and experienced Communications Officer to join us for nine months on a parental leave cover to support our research site in Barcelona and our wider activities in Spain.

You will be a member of the EMBL-wide Communications Department and will also work closely with the agile, friendly and integrated EMBL Barcelona Administration team. You will have responsibility for a full range of internal and external communications and stakeholder support functions: at our Barcelona site; in Spain and, as a member of the wider Communications Department. In addition, you will provide some support to the Administration team on a range of tasks associated with the expansion and operation of the site and fostering its research.
We are an international, friendly and supportive team, with ties to scientists and professionals throughout European and global life sciences and supportive technologies.
As our ideal candidate, you will be educated to degree level (or equivalent), ideally in a scientific subject, with experience in science media and/or outreach in a science-based environment.
EMBL is an inclusive, equal opportunity employer offering attractive conditions and benefits appropriate to an international research organisation with a very collegial and family friendly working environment. The remuneration package comprises a competitive salary, a comprehensive pension scheme, medical, educational and other social benefits, as well as financial support for relocation and installation, including your family.
