The GYA is seeking a freelance, remote Project Coordinator to support the GSTI pilot from January 2026 to June 2027. The estimated commitment is 6–8 hours per week, with flexibility depending on project needs. The Global Science Talent Index (GSTI) is a new Global Young Academy initiative that aims to compare how national research systems support early-career researchers. The pilot will span several countries and bring together structured data, surveys, and policy analysis to understand how research training, mobility, institutional support, and career development differ across settings. The findings will help inform future discussions on strengthening scientific systems worldwide.
Responsibilities include:
• Coordinating activities and meetings across multiple country teams
• Tracking progress on surveys, interviews, and policy scans
• Maintaining organized documentation for internal use and funder reporting
• Supporting volunteer contributors and working groups
• Assisting with dissemination of materials
This opportunity is fully remote with flexible hours.
Candidates will likely be competitive if they:
• Have experience coordinating complex or multi-stakeholder projects
• Communicate clearly and professionally in written English
• Are organized, reliable, and able to manage multiple workstreams
• Can work independently and across time zones
• Have some familiarity with research processes (e.g., policy analysis, social-science methods, indicator development)
• Come from nontraditional backgrounds but can demonstrate the relevant capabilities
Application Materials:
• A CV or résumé (max 5 pages)
• One writing or work sample (brief, project plan, meeting summary, policy document)
• A short quote for the proposed work (a sample template will be provided in the application form at the link)
