Probation Period: 6 months
Fixed-term for 12 months subject to funding
An exciting opportunity for an experienced senior leader to join Hughes Hall as the Interim Director of the Centre for Climate Engagement.
The Centre for Climate Engagement was founded in 2018, as part of The Bridge Initiative at Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge, with the aim of bringing academic research to life for business and legal professionals. The vision of the Centre for Climate Engagement is a world where effective law and governance support businesses and governments at global, national, and local levels in achieving net-zero emissions and building climate resilience.
As the need for effective climate action grows, leaders in law, policy and governance worldwide are increasingly recognising the urgency but struggle to find actionable advice and insights. In the crucial years ahead, we aim to build on our success in bridging the gap between academic research and boardroom action, and dive deeper into leveraging existing research, regulation and policy to accelerate climate action.
At this key juncture, the Centre is seeking to recruit an Interim Director to lead the CCE in its next phase of development. Reporting to College Council and benefitting from the expert guidance of a recently appointed Advisory Group, the Interim Director will provide leadership, strategic direction and operational oversight to the Centre team, working closely with international stakeholders, and continue to strengthen its role within the wider University of Cambridge climate ecosystem.
