Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available until 30 September 2025 in the first instance.

The Department of Sociology is recruiting a Project Co-ordinator for the Cambridge Institute for Research on Race, Antiracism, Inequality, and Social Exclusion (RAISE) to support the initial stages of establishing the institute to become financially and organisationally sustainable.

RAISE aims to deliver a global and ambitious programme of research and impact that address the escalating challenge of racism and inequality.

The RAISE Project Co-ordinator will co-ordinate administration and communications for the project, working with the PI Professor Monica Moreno Figueroa.

Setting up RAISE will involve imagining and developing a truly global and ambitious program of impactful and actionable research and teaching that addresses the escalating global challenge of racism and intersectional social inequalities through partnerships with diverse communities worldwide.

This will involve establishing relationships and global dialogue between researchers, students, and community organisers engaged in addressing the challenges of racism, social change, and inequality.

A core objective of this project will be to establish RAISE as "a space that makes space" for conversations and transformative applied research.

The Project Co-ordinator will support the development of a sustainable institute model based on five core simultaneous and interconnected processes that are:

The design of the organization.
The establishment of relationships and partnerships
The operational process which will include everyday management of different research initiatives; consolidating ongoing related projects; linking up with existing UoC related initiatives; organising events such as seminars, conferences and workshops; and supporting the branding and communication strategy.
The evaluation processes and
The fundraising strategy.

The role holder will provide overall co-ordination for RAISE, developing and maintaining appropriate administration systems and acting as main contact point for the project.

They will manage project documentation, produce outlines and plans; provide financial management; carry out data analysis on the project and organise events.

They will work on the project publicity and website and prepare promotional materials.
