Job Description
The role
We are on a mission to place ethics at the centre of decisions regarding biomedicine and health so that we all benefit. In this new role, your main focus will be working across the team to provide administrative support and assistance with our research, engagement, consultative activities, and the organising of events.
The role will mainly be based in the Research and Policy directorate with a particular focus on assisting with two projects: a genomics stakeholder network and deliberative research on the 14-day rule for embryo research.
With regard to the genomics network, you will support a network of stakeholders and the organisation of a series of workshops to prioritise areas of ethical and regulatory uncertainty and facilitate knowledge exchange. You will also support with desk-based research and stakeholder engagement which aims to develop good practice in the area.
In relation to providing project support on embryo research and the 14-day rule, you will be expected to support the organisation of workshops and events and support colleagues leading the research and engagement workstreams.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with an interest in policy and the high-profile area of bioethics, supporting our ambitious policy-influencing agenda.
About you
You will have some experience of working in a policy or research (or similar) setting, ideally related to health, biological sciences, or law/regulation. Knowledge and understanding of bioethical issues would also be particularly welcome.
You will be able to provide excellent project support across the team, quickly acquire new skills and knowledge, and have the ability to summarise complex information clearly and concisely. You will also have excellent administrative and organisational skills, particularly in the context of supporting projects and organising workshops and events.
Finally, you will be a keen learner, with an interest in your personal development.
The closing date for applications is 09:30am (GMT) on 27 March 2025 with interviews expected to take place on 9th April 2025. Please note that due to the timelines associated with this project, the successful candidate should ideally be able to start in May 2025.
