About us:

The Bartlett Development Planning Unit (DPU) at University College London (UCL) is an international centre specialising in academic teaching, practical training, research, and consultancy in urban and regional development and planning.

It is concerned with promoting sustainable development, understanding rapid urbanisation, and encouraging innovation in the policy, planning and management responses to the economic, social, and environmental development of cities and regions, especially in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.

About the role:

Based in DPU's vibrant hive of activity, a part-time Project Coordinator is required to work in a NERC-funded project "Listen, Learn & Leap: Co-producing Equitable and Sustainable Nature-based Solutions for Climate Resilience in East African Cities".

The post holder will support all workstreams of the project.

'Listen, Learn & Leap' will be delivered in partnership with five partner organisations across Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, the United States, and the UK.

The Project Coordinator will lead in administrative management of the project in its different stages and will work to give visibility to the project to different audiences, including, but not limited to, academics, policymakers, practitioners, and international development agencies.

This is an exciting opportunity to manage a large international research project at the crossroads of transformative research, capacity building, and experimentation with localised and inclusive NbS initiatives.
