Merve Bircan Altınsoy (Independent Researcher & Project Consultant)

Independent researcher and project manager based in Madrid, Spain, with a PhD in Business Management and an MSc in Human Resource Management (Yıldız Technical University).

I have over five years of experience in project management and coordination, mainly in the civil society sector, where I progressed from researcher to coordinator and deputy manager. My doctoral research examined career identity construction among academics, and my core field is organizational behavior, with strong experience in qualitative and quantitative research methodology.

I also have experience in academic editorial work (assistant editor of the Turkish Journal of Business Ethics) and in research project support (TÜBİTAK-funded project).

I am looking to join Horizon Europe WIDERA consortia as a partner, contributing to work on research careers and talent, research evaluation, project management, dissemination and public engagement.
