Description

We are looking for a motivated and dedicated grant recipient who works independently in the field of research, art, or other creative disciplines. A grant recipient is an individual who receives funding from a foundation, government, or other entity to carry out a specific project, research, or artistic work. The work is often time-bound and requires the ability to plan, execute, and report on one's work independently.
The work of a grant recipient may involve scientific research, literature, visual arts, music, performing arts, or social development. Work is typically done alone or in a small team and involves a great deal of independent decision-making, scheduling, and project management. The grant recipient must also be able to communicate the results of their work to funders and possibly the general public.
Success in this role requires strong initiative, the ability to work long-term, and a passion for one's field. Often, the grant recipient is also part of a broader community, such as a research institute, artist collective, or NGO, and is expected to participate in events and networking within the field.
This is not a traditional employment relationship but is based on independent activity and project-based funding. Therefore, the grant recipient must also manage financial planning, reporting, and possibly taxation. However, the role offers a unique opportunity to fully focus on one's passion and develop deep expertise.
If you are creative, analytical, and have a clear vision for your project, the role of a grant recipient can offer you the freedom and resources to bring your ideas to life.
