The purpose of this call is to recruit a person with a technologist profile specialising in research and projects to the Research Centre for Naval and Industrial Technologies of the Universidade da Coruña (CITENI), in order to strengthen the management, coordination and support capacities for the research, knowledge transfer and innovation activities carried out at the centre.

CITENI is a research structure of the Universidade da Coruña located at the Ferrol Industrial Campus, focused on the development of scientific and technological knowledge in the naval and industrial fields. The centre brings together research groups with complementary expertise in areas such as materials, advanced manufacturing, electronics, energy, fluid dynamics, laser technologies, modelling, simulation, sensing, digitalisation and other technologies applied to industry.

The person recruited will provide support in the administrative, financial and technical management of projects, agreements and research and knowledge transfer activities, as well as in the preparation of reports, statements, indicators, scientific and technological capability documentation, and funding proposals. Their incorporation will help improve the centre's internal coordination, its interaction with research groups, and its collaboration with companies, public administrations and other partner organisations.





This recruitment will therefore contribute to the consolidation of CITENI's research structure, the strengthening of knowledge transfer to the productive sector, and the improvement of the centre's capacity to participate in strategic projects at regional, national and international levels.

The funding of the contract may be assumed, in whole or in part, by any other project or grant assigned to the Research Line, including prior to the completion of the initial months, provided that there is adequate and sufficient funding available.

Pursuant to Article 5 of Instruction 2/2025 of 17 March 2025 of the Vice-Rectorate for Research and Knowledge Transfer, which regulates the registration of research and strategic lines and the recruitment of research staff under such lines, the continuation of this permanent contract is subject to the continued need for the duties and to the existence of adequate and sufficient funding within the Research Line. The exhaustion of the funding allocated to the Research Line, or the completion of the technical activities justifying the position without the possibility of reassignment, shall constitute objective grounds for termination of the contract (Article 52.e of the Workers' Statute).
