About the Role

The Blavatnik School of Government is seeking a talented Writer-Researcher to join the Lemann Foundation Programme for the Public Sector's research.

Launched in September 2021, the Programme aims to connect the Blavatnik School's focus on the challenges and opportunities facing the public sector - government, civil services and associated partner agencies and institutions - to the particular experiences and prospects in Brazil, aiming to benefit Brazil and inform those globally who can gain from its example.

The Programme's Writer-Researcher will be responsible for developing website content such as blogs, writing and translation of policy briefs, and - alongside the School's Case Centre - creating case studies and associated items.

The role will also involve working with the Programme's Director and Engagement Officer to develop and implement the Programme's strategy for external engagement and network building, including the planning and delivery of events.

The role will best suit someone who is an excellent writer, highly organised, enthusiastic about assisting with the smooth running of events and engagement activities.

About You
This post is fixed-term until December 2024. Further details for this position are outlined in the job description.
