The Science Communication Unit (SCU) at UWE Bristol is recognised for internationally leading research, creative approaches to practice and outstanding teaching. SCU research seeks to bring science and society closer together, and as such we have a core interest in developing research which is societally-relevant and developed in conjunction with those who practice science communication. Our portfolio of activities is extensive, including innovative approaches to engaging diverse publics with science.
We have an exicitng opprtuinity to the unit as an Assistant Editor and Network Developer working on the Science for Environment Policy project, funded by the European Commission. This project involves providing a high-quality news service for policymakers across Europe on behalf of the Directorate-General for Environment (DG ENV) of the European Commission. This news service provides policymakers with policy-relevant insights into the latest environmental science research. This role will provide an excellent opportunity to be involved in a high-profile European project that is seeking to inform policy decisions aimed at addressing climate change and protecting the environment.
The School of Applied Sciences is a very proud recipient of an Athena SWAN Silver Award and our commitment to creating a culture for gender equality is reflected in a number of ongoing actions related to workload management, flexible working and career development within the Department.
You’ve got a background in and experience of science or environmental journalism, or a related field such as public relations, with a track record of communicating complex research in written form to non-expert audiences.
You’re experienced in selecting research studies to be featured in editorial material as well as writing and editing science or environmental science material for non-expert audiences. Experience of writing for policymakers would be advantageous. You can build and maintain effective working relationships internally and externally with different partners and stakeholders to enhance the effectiveness of communication activities. Experience of developing connections with existing networks to raise the profile of a service will be valuable.
We are looking for candidates who align to the UWE values. You’ll be supported in this role by experienced staff within the Science Communication Unit team who are also involved with the Science for Environment Policy project.
This post is based at our lively Frenchay campus where we have invested in the latest facilities and resources to give both our staff and students access to everything they need to succeed.
