Competition for the Post of Director of the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry
We invite you to take part in the competition for the post of director of the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry. Deadline for submission of documents: 12 July 2025 (inclusive).
We are looking for a leader who can not only effectively manage a large and diverse organisation, but also identify long-term trends in science, represent the Centre internationally and inspire further progress.
If you have strategic leadership experience and ability to mobilise a team of professionals, can combine scientific progress with public sector responsibility and believe in Lithuania's potential to effectively participate in Europe's green transformation processes, we invite you to join us. More than a managerial role, it is an opportunity to actively engage in shaping the future vision for the country's agriculture, forests and environment.
Why is it worth applying for the post?
- The opportunity to lead a research institute where insights and research influence public policy and sector change.
- The broad geography and unique field of expertise of the institute.
- The opportunity to participate actively in international scientific networks and projects, particularly those related to green transformation and climate change solutions.
- The opportunity to introduce advanced management models, strengthen the quality of science and shape the strategic direction of the institution.
