Are you good at connecting different parties and operating in an academic environment, and does writing come easily to you? Do you enjoy networking, and would you like to be part of a socially engaged team at Wageningen University & Research? If the answer is yes, read on


Together with your colleagues at SBE, you will be responsible for managing a network of external and internal relations, partnerships and initiatives in an effort to identify opportunities for real-life learning in the domain of WUR.

You will recognize and explore the intersections with the authentic learning environments in WUR education and support external partners in defining their questions and issues.

As an Educational Relationship Manager, you need to have the ability to translate the inquiries of external partners into academic transdisciplinary issues that align with the program or course learning outcomes and the wishes of the teachers.

This job is positioned at the team Society Based Education, which is part of the Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC) of Wageningen University.

Your responsibilities

This position involves the following:
connecting supply and demand; recruiting and writing student projects;
actively maintaining and expanding internal and external partners and networks;
acting as contact point for organisations that wish to collaborate with WUR students.

About us

The team Society Based Education (SBE) part of the Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC), connects societal issues to the University's BSc and MSc programmes.

The SBE team supports and inspires WUR teachers to design their educational offerings in connection with society and in the context of hybrid learning environments.


It is WUR's ambition to allow students to learn in an authentic way as much as possible, so they can apply their academic knowledge in the Netherlands and abroad, and thereby contribute to finding solutions to current societal issues.

Examples of these issues include the nitrogen crisis and climate problems in general, developing new breeding techniques in Tanzania, and developing a strategy for more agroforestry in the Netherlands.

In hybrid learning environments, students learn to look beyond the boundaries of their own disciplines, come into contact with their future occupational field, and develop complex social and personal skills, such as entrepreneurship and reflection.

In this way, the acquisition of knowledge and skills related to societal problems is integrated as a foundational aspect of WUR study programmes.

This requires a strong network of public and non-public actors that understand the added value of collaborating with WUR students and teachers.

To this end, the SBE team maintains good contacts with various knowledge networks, living labs, individual clients and teachers. Wageningen University & Research offers excellent terms of employment.

A few highlights from our Collective Labour Agreement include:

sabbatical leave, study leave, and partially paid parental leave;
working hours that can be discussed and arranged so that they allow for the best possible work-life balance;
the option to accrue additional compensation / holiday hours by working more, per week;
there is a strong focus on vitality and you can make use of the sports facilities available on campus for a small fee;
a fixed December bonus of 8.3%;
excellent pension scheme.
In addition to these first-rate employee benefits, you will of course receive a good salary.

We offer a contract for 16 hrs a week for a period of one year, depending on your experience, a competitive gross salary of between € 3.226,- and €5.090,- for a full-time working week of 38 hours, in accordance with the CLA Wageningen Research (scale 10).

Wageningen University & Research encourages internal advancement opportunities and mobility with an internal recruitment policy. There are plenty of options for personal initiative in a learning environment, and we provide excellent training opportunities. We are offering a unique position in an international environment with a pleasant and open working atmosphere.
