Found in: beBee jobs GB - 2 weeks ago


Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom The University of Edinburgh Full time

Full time - 35 hours per week

SEBI-Livestock (hereafter SEBI-L) is a dynamic and innovative organisation tasked with improving livestock data and evidence in low- and middle-income countries to support better informed decision making. We provide core data and monitoring services to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) to assist in the tracking of their livestock investments. In addition we convene a large livestock data network, Livestock Data for Decisions (LD4D), to help achieve common goals.

The post of Researcher (Livestock Insights & Modelling) will sit within the Insights and Modelling Group and will support SEBI-L efforts to develop and improve models to support decisions. This will include the improvement of a livestock health and production evidence base through reviewing existing sources of evidence (e.g. literature, systematic reviews). This evidence base will create datasets to support mathematical models as well as delivering insights for decision makers (such as BMGF). The post holder will also produce manual outputs to support the development of SEBI-L's automated systematic mapping tool, LitXpress. This post is suitable for a diligent and service-focused individual with excellent attention to detail.

This post is full-time (35 hours per week), however, we are open to considering flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working that combines a mix of remote and on-campus working.

Your skills and attributes for success:

  • Educated to degree level or above in a relevant subject e.g. animal production / health / veterinary science / epidemiology/ livestock economics (Desirable).
  • Knowledge and experience in the application of systematic reviews.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and ability to foster collaborative relationships.
  • High level of attention to detail, strong planning and tracking skills.

£37,099 to £44,263 per annum (A revised salary range for this grade of £39,347 to £46,974 is planned to take effect from Spring Grade 7)
