Does your fascination and passion for creating a better world for future generations also come with superb attention to detail and a way with words? Are you seeking a way in which your views can be heard, read and absorbed by others
Here at Clean Air Fund we are on a mission to create a world where everyone breathes clean air – no exceptions and definitely no excuses.
We are making amazing progress and are a team of collaborative, ambitious, committed and ‘don’t take no for an answer’ type of people. But we need more people who are as dedicated to the cause as we are. People who see a job as more than a way to pay the bills (we understand it needs to do that by the way) but also a way to make a real difference and to effect demonstrable change.
If you are seeking an organisation that will give you space to grow your experience whilst sharing your ideas, opinions and solutions in the most pressing climate challenge facing the world – AND you have an academic research background in atmospheric and climate science then we really should talk.
The role:
As the Science Officer you will be the communications support for the Super Pollutants portfolio that includes the black carbon initiative. You will draw on your scientific research experience and science communications abilities, supporting projects with technical input and researching, analysing and creating unwaveringly accurate scientific communications spanning climate science and health impacts.
You will have a knack for distilling information into actionable insight and accessible external communications – your way with words and understanding of audience demographics will ensure the clarity and impact of your messaging.
Whilst your research background will give you the essential insight and expertise to contribute widely, this role is where your academic prowess comes to life in real-life deliverables. You will be called upon to support the design and management of research and science communication grants and projects, to coordinate key meetings and workshops and to support Finance in how we manage cashflow and reporting.
Throughout you will keep abreast of developments within the fields of air pollution, super pollutants and climate mitigation especially related to science and research, policy development, innovation, technology and impact analyses and portfolio relevant developments. You will never stop learning and developing your deep understanding of this subject and will inevitably become an expert.
Your experience:
Beyond your essential research experience in atmospheric and climate science, in particular experience working on black carbon or other super pollutants you will
• Be able to demonstrate that you think and act strategically
• Possess excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to efficiently explain and discuss complex topics in layman’s terms.
Finally:
Please note – this is not a research role. Your research experience will have got you here – now it is time to put that knowledge and academic horsepower to work in a role that will offer you exposure to opportunities to grow your career and to demonstrate how you can make a contribution and be part of an ambition to change the world for the better. Not many jobs truly offer that.
We look forward to hearing from you.
