Knowledge Security Manager
Are you looking for a challenging new position in which you lead Eindhoven University of Technology in the Knowledge Security domain and help us balance academic freedom, open science, internationalization, and the safe handling of knowledge? Then you are much needed as our Knowledge security manager.
Academic freedom and open science form the bedrock of our university. At the same time, we are aware that, in the ever-changing global political climate, risks are associated with international collaboration. TU/e's principle is that we share knowledge where possible and protect it where necessary. This balance is the domain of Knowledge Security, which encompasses (1) preventing unwanted knowledge transfer with negative consequences for national security and Dutch innovation power, (2) the covert influence of higher education by state actors, which can lead to forms of (self)censorship and infringement of academic freedom, and (3) ethical issues that may be associated with cooperation with countries where fundamental rights are not respected.
Other duties include:
- Building the capability of new and existing services to analyze potential Knowledge Security questions, events and develop KPIs and metrics.
- Presenting structured updates to the Executive Board, including but not limited to, summarizing activities related to program timeline and deliverables.

- Representing the TU/e position on Knowledge Security on external platforms, such as the UNL working group.
- Creating awareness among senior management, staff and students about Knowledge Security topics. Communicating complex knowledge security issues in a way that is understandable to a variety of audiences across the university.
