Population Matters (PM) is looking for an independent, self-reliant, and smart researcher to carry out a 4-5 month scoping out contract into the feasibility of developing a virtual[1] Ecological Development Economics Institute[2].

The proposed new entity would exist to develop and promote an intellectual and policy framework to challenge the traditional growth-driven economic theory as being irreconcilable with our planetary future. At its core, would be the premise that achieving a smaller human population globally will benefit people both in developed and developing countries. The Institute would draw on resources of people, intellectual capital, policy development and implementation to provide a practical service for policymakers and leaders globally.

Ending population growth alone will not secure a world in which humanity lives in harmony with nature, but it is a crucial component for reversing the current trends of deteriorating biodiversity, accelerating climate change and escalating insecurity of human communities. Yet population remains a neglected element in public policy.

It is our conclusion that economic arguments will hold greater sway with policy makers. Hence, scoping out the feasibility of a new economics institute offering analysis and advice to policymakers globally. A key principle is that EDEI (name TBC) will not focus solely on developing nations or post-colonial nations – but look in both directions: developing countries (with their issues) and developed countries (with different issues).

NB - The proposed EDEI is not about funding or delivering SRHR family planning directly. That is the role, area of expertise, and responsibility of other agencies and national governments. 

Person Specification

Essential

• Experience (paid or voluntary) of research project management or project management assistance, public affairs/international affairs and/or the charity/NGO sector.
• Educated to degree level ideally in relevant discipline (e.g. economics, development, environment, international affairs, politics, studies).
• Self-reliant, resourceful, able to sustain motivation and work programme to delivery.
• Excellent communications skills, high standard of written and spoken English.
• Strong organisational, administrative and IT skills - with experience of Google Drive, Zoom, Microsoft applications.

Desirable

• Experience of relationship management with external stakeholders and strong communication and relationship management abilities.
• Knowledge of, interest in population, environment and/or development issues.
• Commitment to Population Matters’ vision, mission and values.

[1] By ‘virtual’, we mean not having an actual, permanent physical presence in terms of office space with a name on the door, or a registered legal identity. EDEI would be hosted and overseen by PM, most likely with a small secretariat/admin centre residing within the PM operational staff team. EDEI is intended to be able to draw on a range of external experts and bring those into particular projects as appropriate to the need and scale of the project.

[2]Population Matters is a United Kingdom-based charity focused on the impact of human populations on global environmental sustainability.

Freedom, Justice, Equality. Let's get to work.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an exceptional individual with a demonstrable record of policy and research work, ideally within an asylum or immigration detention context.

You will be responsible for the delivery of our policy, research and parliamentary work.  As part of your role you will gather evidence from our casework and elsewhere to prepare briefings, papers and research reports about the harm caused by immigration detention to alert the Home Office, NHS England, medical professional bodies, parliamentarians, and the courts to ongoing issues.

Influenced by our robust and unique evidence base, our credibility and effectiveness, as well as the expertise of our staff and volunteers, Medical Justice enjoys excellent collaboration with lawyers, other NGO’s in the field, medical professionals and parliamentarians.  Medical Justice is the only NGO consulted by NHS England on its Service Specifications for healthcare provision in Immigration Removal Centres (IRCs).  In 2019 Medical Justice became the secretariat for the newly formed All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Immigration Detention.  In 2020 Medical Justice was granted Core Participant status in the Brook House IRC Public Inquiry which provides what is probably the best prospect there has ever been to expose ongoing systemic failures in immigration detention.

Working closely with the Director and the Casework Manager, and line managing the Parliamentary and Research Analyst, the successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring Medical Justice has the greatest possible impact on immigration detention policy and practice.

Though the full-time Policy, Research & Parliamentary Manager post is very much preferred, Medical Justice might alternatively consider a combination of a 3 day a week Policy Manager post plus a 2 or 3 day a week Researcher post – if you would be interested in either of those part-time roles, please express your interest as soon as possible.

Medical Justice is keen to look beyond the traditional review of your qualifications and work experience to what relevant knowledge and skills you may have acquired through your life experience.

Are you a confident researcher who would like to use your skills to amplify the voices and experience of Deaf and disabled people in Barnet?  Do you have your own lived experience of disability (which could include a long term condition or mental health issues)? 

We are looking for an enthusiastic self-starter to take on an exciting two year project to understand disabled people’s experience of the social care system.  Using surveys and interviews, and supported by a steering group of users who you will work with closely, you will build a picture of how much people feel the support they receive is helping them achieve independence and the outcomes they aspire to.  You’ll use that information to build reports and recommendations, culminating in a conference to share learning and hear from other areas about how to build best practice in support and co-production.

A natural relationship builder, you will be able to adjust your communication style to work effectively with a wide range of stakeholders, from users to senior council staff to other London DDPOs.  You’ll also be able to write clearly, persuasively and accessibly, creating reports and information that people want to read.  You’ll also be able to advocate effectively for greater co-production and make a positive case for change, sensitive to the perspective of a range of stakeholders but able to find solutions and suggestions that build user involvement.

You’ll hold overall responsibility for our user voice work, overseeing the work of our User Voice Lead and ensuring that there is effective shared learning between different projects.  Supervisory experience would therefore be an asset, but we are also open to applications from talented disabled people looking to move into their first management role.  Confidence to conduct high-quality research independently with minimal supervision is essential, however.

This is a great opportunity to create a really impactful piece of work and influence thinking on approaches to Adult Social Care.  The work is Barnet-based, but we hope it will be influential far beyond the borough.  So we’re looking for someone committed to making a difference, who will take this opportunity and help create positive change. 

In return, you will become part of a friendly and supportive team, working within a focused but flexible culture, where diversity is valued and you can bring your whole self to work.

The role is based in Colindale, but with some flexibility for homeworking days.  The role is totally home based during lockdown. 

Interviews will be in early February, with the successful candidate commencing in post 1st April. To apply, please submit your CV and a full cover letter explaining how you would use your lived experience of disability to inform your work, as well as detailing your research experience.
