We are looking for an Impact Officer to play a central role in supporting the Institute to report on the reach and impact of food systems research at the university.

You will be based at the University of Leeds and appropriate mentorship and career development support will be provided in line with career stage as part of the role. 

To support and shape the Institute’s ambitious work plan, we are seeking a motivated and proactive Impact Officer to work with GFEI.
