    Default job background
    Description

    Contract type:
    Permanent

    Wellcome is a global charitable foundation. We improve health for everyone by funding science, leading policy and advocacy campaigns, and building partnerships.

    We plan to spend £16bn over the next ten years, funding new discoveries in life, health and wellbeing, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate.

    We are looking for a Senior Research Manager to contribute to the delivery of the Climate & Health programme ensuring strategic objectives are met.

    This role will support the team to convene, fund and share learning in-line with the Climate & Health strategy by implementing specific projects and activities such as: implementing and assessing funding calls and commissions, convening groups, drafting reports and liaising with internal and external groups and individuals as required.

    Capacity & Field Development role

    The Climate & Health Capacity & Field Development sub-team is helping to catalyse a more coherent and diverse climate and health science community that shares values and goals, fosters creative new research, and unearths new understanding from existing evidence.

    We believe that tackling climate and health will require a transdisciplinary approach which brings together researchers from different fields relevant to climate and health - together with policy actors, the private sector and others responsible for driving action to ensure that our research addresses the needs of research users and increases the likelihood of uptake.

    Understanding and addressing climate change and health will require an appreciation of how biological, physical and social factors interact.

    Our approach to field building includes ensuring climate and health scientists from diverse disciplines use common metrics, learn from each other and make use of the insights and views of those most affected.

    We expect applicants to have an understanding of how climate and health integrate across systems and sectors, and a broad understanding of research methods.

    Successful applicants will need to have significant expertise in relation to at least one specialist area of climate and health science, broadly defined.

    Some illustrative examples are climate science, meteorology, economics or behavioural sciences, but these are not exhaustive.

    We welcome applicants from a diverse range of experiences in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research, research management and research funding from academia, government, the private sector and civil society.

    A PhD is not essential, but experience of conducting or evaluating research will be advantageous. Please note that availability to travel both domestically and internationally is expected in this role.
