ARMINES, the Coordinator of the EC-H2020 funded project “Gliders For Research, Ocean Observations and Management: Infrastructure and Innovation” (GROOM II), is seeking a Project Director to coordinate activities of the project.Marine Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles (AUVs) are widely used for marine research and long-term Observing Systems, and increasingly by private companies in the Blue Economy. This sector is continuously growing due to the rapid evolution of marine robotics and sensing technologies, as well as the increasing demand for services in both numbers and variety. The operation of these vehicles and their services relies on a network of research infrastructures distributed throughout Europe, including in-situ and remote operations at sea and data management of a large number of AUVs for a wide variety of applications.Such activities depend on significant IT resources, R&D to enhance the capacity of the vehicles and their sensors, and managerial and financial activities to operate the infrastructures and provide access to them for a broad public. In this context, we are looking for a Project Director for a European Research Infrastructure for Marine Autonomous Vehicles, capable of coordinating and promoting these activities.
