We develop and deliver science shows and workshops for schools and festivals, training for researchers and partnership projects with stakeholders from STEM industry, research institutions, charitable foundations and learned societies.
After our strange Covid years, we are emerging to find we have lots of opportunities for growth. We need an organised project wrangler who can ensure that our projects are completed efficiently and to a high quality. The job is a great opportunity for an organised someone wanting a good grounding in all things science communication, who has an eye on future leadership.
The postholder will be involved with all aspects of our special projects, with a focus on project management, but dipping a toe into content development, delivery, marketing. Work will include project planning, liaison with clients/ partners, allocating tasks to staff, reporting, budget management, content development and delivery, organising travel and presenter tours, purchasing, marketing and supporting funding applications.
Apart from needing excellent IT, writing and presentation skills, a background and enthusiasm for STEM/informal learning and a methodical and thorough approach to work, our current and upcoming projects involve the need for the skills below. If you can bring one (or all!) of these, we’d love to hear from you.
Increasing diversity within STEM is one of our core values and as such we would love to hear from applicants who are currently under-represented in the STEM sector.
