The Royal Society is a self-governing Fellowship of distinguished scientists drawn from all areas of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine. The Society’s fundamental purpose is to recognise, promote and support excellence in science and to encourage the development and use of science for the benefit of humanity. The Society has played a part in some of the most fundamental, significant, and life-changing discoveries in scientific history, and Royal Society scientists continue to make outstanding contributions to science across a wide breadth of research areas.
Scientific Programmes Team
The Scientific Programmes Team comprises four key programmes that facilitate scientist-to-scientist communication and recognise excellence in science:
1. Scientific Meetings programme (UK-wide) as recommended by the Hooke committee
2. Delivery of bilateral international meetings in collaboration with the International Affairs Team
3. Medals and Awards programme including associated prize lectures
4. Royal Society and Fellowship annual events programme
This role supports the work of the Medals and Fellowship programmes and is primarily focused on supporting the planning and delivery of high-profile events. It also supports the administration of the medals and awards programme.
Attention to detail and administrative experience within a busy team is essential, as is the ability to quickly build strong working relationships with internal colleagues and external partners at all levels. The successful candidate will demonstrate exceptional organisation and communication skills and be accustomed to managing competing priorities and expectations.
The post holder will also be expected to contribute to other projects and events outside their remit to support the team’s activities as a whole, if required.
