At Nijmegen School of Management, one of the seven faculties within Radboud University in the Netherlands, we have a clear aim: we enable students, institutions and companies, social actors, and governments to play their part in the transformations towards a sustainable society through high-quality scientific research and education. With more than 4,500 curious students and more than 450 dedicated employees, we form a dynamic community.
Our mission ‘Responsible governance for sustainable societies’ is driven by the ambition to make a difference in the world. At Nijmegen School of Management, we understand management as a broad concept referring to the collective and organised pursuit (responsible governance) of a better world (sustainable societies). We study and teach management at the level of public and private organisations. In this context, we examine how to balance economic, ecological, and social values in a sustainable way. This aim is in line with Radboud University's mission to contribute through teaching and research to a ‘free, healthy world with equal opportunities for all’.
At Nijmegen School of Management, academic research and teaching are carried out in following areas: Business Administration, Economics and Business Economics, Political Science, Public Administration, Human Geography, Spatial Planning, and Environment. Our approach to teaching and research is evolving from multidisciplinarity, where we study societal challenges from different disciplinary backgrounds, to interdisciplinarity (integrating disciplinary perspectives for synergy) and transdisciplinarity (involving non-academic stakeholders).
The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an important source of inspiration for our work. Our work focuses on the themes Social economy, Resilient society and Sustainable environment. At Nijmegen School of Management, we have our eyes on the world of the future, in which sustainability and responsibility are central values. Together we are creating a better world for everyone.
Would you like to contribute to the sustainable impact of Radboud University? Are you a connector with an understanding of sustainability in education and research? Are you interested in interdisciplinary research and are you a networker? Then this position is for you.
As a coordinator at the Radboud Centre for Sustainability Challenges (RCSC), you will be responsible for further developing the centre into a hub where researchers and lecturers from different faculties work together on sustainability issues. Your duties will be both substantive and organisational in nature. As a discussion partner of researchers and lecturers, you will be able to advise on the further integration of sustainability in education and research and to establish connections with other experts. You will be supported by a team assistant and student assistants. In this position you will also supervise the work of the part-time co-coordinators at the centre. You will chair core team meetings and further develop the broader consultation structure at the centre. You will ensure liaison with the RU sustainability programme and with the various faculties where sustainability education and research are concerned.
You will liaise with sustainability scholars from different faculties, foster connections between researchers and lecturers in the RCSC network, and create conditions for fruitful multidisciplinary collaboration (e.g. opportunities for and limitations of cross-faculty teaching).
You will explore and guide collaborations in the field of sustainability research in terms of content. The emphasis here will be on cooperation within RU, but promoting links to existing and new research consortia with partners outside RU is also part of the range of tasks. You will be expected to actively co-author a number of collaborative grant proposals.
Furthermore, you will contribute to the further integration of sustainability in education at the faculties and co-create the organisational conditions for the implementation, preparation and support of education. As a coordinator, you can also play a role in the implementation of the relevant teaching and support new teaching.
Lastly, you will act as a point of contact for questions from internal and external parties regarding sustainability research and education at RU. Overviews will regularly be made available for this purpose.
Radboud University's strategy is to contribute to a healthy, free world with equal opportunities for all. This mission has been worked out in a sustainability policy for the coming years in which we have determined how we create impact through our education, research and operations. This development is driven and supported by the sustainability programme which, in addition to the programme director and a project manager, also includes the Radboud Green Office and the Radboud Centre for Sustainability Challenges (RCSC). Together they form the ’sustainability team’. This team works closely with colleagues in the various faculties and supporting divisions to achieve the sustainability goals set within research, education and operations while increasing the organisation's learning capacity in this area. In addition, the team is responsible for several RU-wide tasks, such as advising the Executive Board, impacting measurement and sustainability reporting, internal and external alignment with stakeholders, expertise development and knowledge gathering, community building, internal and external communication on sustainability, and representation in various consultative bodies.
