Job offer

The Orpheus Institute is currently seeking to appoint a Coordinator of Valorisation. Valorisation at the Orpheus Institute is set to explore and develop the less quantifiable "soft" forms of social and artistic value creation, reaching out to and interacting with both peers and non-academic stakeholder communities. Valorisation activities will transfer knowledge from research carried out at the Institute and disseminate acquired competencies in artistic research, all the while taking advantage of the newest digital circumstances.

Your profile

  • Advanced degree in an artistic or culture-related field;
  • Practical knowledge of the inner workings of the music sector;
  • Show communication and organisational skills;
  • Fluent and creative writer in English;
  • Open to explore new and collaborative methods;
  • Independent in the planning and execution of the work;
  • Be ready to live within commuting distance from the Orpheus Institute.

Your job

  • Facilitate and coordinate valorisation activities;
  • Work closely with Orpheus researchers and staff to develop valorisation initiatives;
  • Further the discourse on and develop new modes of valorisation;
  • Negotiate collaborations with external partners;
  • Seek out external funding opportunities;
  • (Co-)organize events such as study days, seminars, etc.;
  • Foster convergence of the different research interests in the institute.

Our offer

  • Gross annual salary: € 40,000 or more, depending on experience;
  • A stimulating environment at a world-leading institute for research, study, and dialogue;
  • The role of coordinator of valorisation is foreseen as a full-time position (100% FTE). However, in particular circumstances (e.g. an ongoing research project), a fractional contract (>60%) may be negotiable.

The starting date could be set by negotiation but should be early 2022. Renewal of the contract as a permanent position will be subject to a mutually satisfactory evaluation at the end of the first year.

Application process

The interested candidate should submit:

  • A cover letter, containing a self-introduction and motivation;
  • A full CV;
  • A brief outline of your ideas for the innovative potential of valorisation at the Orpheus Institute (max. 2 pages); thinking out of the box is encouraged;
  • Three names and contact information of possible referees (only names, no letters at this point).

The complete application should be uploaded at airtable.com/shrSt70JV09JJFF8k by January 10th, 2022 (23:59 CET). Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview at the Orpheus Institute. The Orpheus Institute embraces diversity and strives to be an inclusive environment.
