Office manager Corporate HR (28-36u p/w)

Ben jij een gedreven professional op zoek naar een uitdagende rol als Office Manager HR? Wil jij de directeur en het managementteam ondersteunen? Voor de corporate Directeur HR en zijn team zijn we op zoek naar een enthousiaste, proactieve en veelzijdige Office Manager. Wil jij tussen 28 en 36 uur werken met uitstekende werkomstandigheden en een prima werk-privébalans? Dan zijn wij misschien wel precies wat jij zoekt.

Wat is het secretariaat?
De afdeling Corporate HR bestaat uit ruim 100 medewerkers in verschillende teams, zoals HR Operations, het Centre of Expertise (Recruitment, Learning & Development, Vital & Health), HR Legal en HR Business Partnering. De afdeling werkt bij de ontwikkeling en uitvoering van HR-thema’s nauw samen met de decentrale HR-afdelingen. Jouw werkplek is op de 5e verdieping van het opvallende gebouw Atlas op onze campus.

Het secretariaat is het belangrijke aanspreekpunt voor de afdeling Corporate HR en zorgt voor deskundige secretariële en administratieve ondersteuning. Je zorgt voor een naadloze secretariële en administratieve ondersteuning.

Dit is wat je onder andere gaat doen:

• beheer van complexe agenda’s voor de directeur en MT-leden;
• als eerste aanspreekpunt voor relaties;
• je organiseert (mede) MT vergaderingen van de afdeling;
• je plant afspraken, vergaderingen en bijeenkomsten. Verder pak je alle praktische zaken op die daarbij horen, denk daarbij aan het reserveren van ruimtes en het regelen van de gewenste catering;
• je beheert samen met je (nog te werven collega) de secretariaat mailbox naast je eigen mailbox;
• je maakt bestellingen aan, bewaakt het administratieve inkoopproces en rondt dit af. Daarnaast verzorg en bewaak je de doorbelastingen van intern afgenomen diensten. Bijvoorbeeld een workshop of een cursus voor een interne medewerker;
• je regelt allerlei praktische zaken en bestellingen bij indiensttreding van nieuwe collega’s. Hier kan het gaan om een WUR-pas, laptop, en kluisje;
• je bent aanspreekpunt voor allerlei facilitaire zaken.

In deze rol denk je mee over hoe het secretariaat de afdeling het beste kan ondersteunen. Maar ook hoe je zaken nog efficiënter kan doen.

PhD: Economic value of real-time video-based disease detection in pigs

Do you want to improve animal welfare and help make livestock farming more sustainable? Are you excited about connecting cutting-edge AI technology with farming to unlock the economic value of this technology? Do you want to make real-world impact with your research? Then this PhD position could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Feeding a growing global population sustainably is one of today's greatest challenges. While diets are expected to become increasingly plant-based, livestock production will continue to play an important role. Improving animal welfare while reducing the environmental footprint of livestock systems is therefore essential for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Wageningen University (WUR) and the Technical University of Eindhoven (TUe) have been working on vision-based measurement of animal welfare in production animals. In the NWO-funded RealTimeAI4Livestock project, these technologies are being further developed for applications in both breeding for animal welfare and early disease detection. Early detection can improve animal welfare while enabling early and more efficient interventions by farmers.

The aim of this PhD project to gain insight in the economic value of using this AI vision-based technologie in animal farming. Although these technologies have great potential to improve animal welfare, their impact depends on farmers seeing sufficient economic benefits to adopt them.

In this PhD project, you will:

• develop a mechanistic stochastic bio-economic simulation model to quantify the production and economic impacts of livestock diseases in livestock production (most likely pig production);
• estimate the economic value of disease interventions, based on AI vision technologies;
• develop system-use scenarios and evaluate them under various production circumstances;
• design and conduct an adaptive choice-based conjoint study to understand farmers' preferences for disease detection technologies;
• collaborate with researchers at WUR and TU/e, as well as breeding companies, technology developers and other industry partners.

Where you will work
At Wageningen university you will be working at the Business Economics group (BEC) and will be co-supervised by the Animal Breeding and Genetics group (ABG).

Postdoc Theoretical Biophysics Sars-Cov2

Job description

The Sars-Covid virus genomic RNA encodes a small number of structural proteins, one of which is the N-protein. This N-protein plays a strong role in packaging the genomic RNA; yet, how this packaging process works and how the N-protein manages to selectively pack genomic RNA is not well-understood. We will study this selective packaging theoretically, in tight collaboration with experimental groups. The theoretical methods include stochastic modelling, MD simulation, and Bayesian inference; the position will also include joint collaborative projects with other group members and our experimental colleagues. A desire to develop the direction of your project is very welcome!

Job requirements

• Masters in Physics, Computer Science, Nanobiology, Mathematics, Bioengineering or a related discipline
• PhD in Physics, Applied Science, or a related discipline
• Experience in statistical physics, stochastic processes and/or data analysis methods
• Strong interest in engaging and collaborating with experimental colleagues
