• You coordinate the Lab's programme of workshops, experiments and data collection, as well as public events, in collaboration with the research team;
• You help design and facilitate participatory, play-based and game-based research activities;
• You support arts-based and creative forms of research and public engagement, working together with artists and creative practitioners;
• You translate research questions into engaging experimental formats, helping researchers develop activities for the Lab;
• You coordinate collaborations with academic and non-academic partners, including public institutions, civil society organisations, artists, designers and technology practitioners;
• You support experiments involving digital technologies, coding and AI applications, liaising between researchers and technical collaborators;
• You manage the practical organisation of the Lab: planning, scheduling, documentation, budgets and materials;
• You document activities and contribute to project reporting, communication and dissemination.

You are organised, creative and proactive, and just as comfortable taking the lead as working as part of a team. Specifically:

• You have hands-on experience with participatory, play-based, game-based or other experimental research or engagement methods, and with the design of research-oriented games such as Le Grand Jeu;
• You have worked with arts-based methods, creative practice or creative forms of public engagement;
• You keep several activities, collaborators and deadlines on track at once;
• You're at ease in collaborative, interdisciplinary settings, and you communicate and facilitate confidently with diverse groups;
• You take ownership and initiative, and are ready to lead when a project needs it;
• You're comfortable enough with coding, digital tools and AI applications to experiment with them and talk shop with technical collaborators;
• You're genuinely interested in the societal and political implications of data, AI, and data infrastructure;
• You can communicate effectively in English, both verbally and in writing;
• Experience with EU-funded or other large collaborative research projects is a strong plus, and some Dutch is an asset but not essential.

• Starting date as soon as possible, and otherwise 1 November or 1 December 2026; for 0,4 fte (15.2 hours per week) for 36 months, starting with 12 months and contingent upon positive evaluation an extension of 24 months;

In addition, you will receive an 8% holiday allowance and an 8.3% end-of-year allowance. The Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities is applicable;
• An interdisciplinary, international research environment within an EU-funded programme, with real scope to bring your own ideas, skills and experience to the development of the Living Lab;
• Close collaboration with the project leader and research team, and with artists, technologists and civil society partners from across the globe.
