London, United Kingdom BRITISH SCIENCE ASSOCIATION Full time

Join the British Science Association Council

We’re looking for two new Trustees to join the board of the British Science Association, both current or recently practicing scientists with experience of science engagement and commitment to our mission. These are volunteer roles governing our medium-sized UK charity.

The British Science Association believes that all of society should be included in science. Through our education, engagement and policy & advocacy programmes, we work with partners across the UK to bring people and science together in ways that will have a lasting, positive impact on communities, research and society. 

Your role

As a Trustee, your role is to work with other Council members to set the strategic direction for the charity and oversee the effective running of the organisation. You will be expected to act as an ambassador for the BSA with our key external audiences and to demonstrate leadership on the BSA’s commitment to improving diversity and inclusion in science.

What we are looking for

We are currently looking to recruit for two practising scientists with experience of science engagement to join Council, ideally one from academia and one from industry. To get the most out of being on the BSA’s Council, we suggest that you have a passion for our vision and goals and can commit to the time and effort required. Our Council members need strategic vision, independent judgement, and an ability to work effectively as part of a team. 

We are a UK-wide charity and are interested in regional representation and diversity of mindset in addition to aiming for Council to be demographically representative of the UK. We are keen to hear from people from communities who are currently under-represented on Council, including people from ethnic minority backgrounds and people with disabilities. 

Terms of Appointment

This is a volunteer (pro bono) role and there is no salary. Reasonable out of pocket expenses may be claimed on submission of appropriate documentation.

We are a UK-wide charity and are interested in regional representation and diversity of mindset in addition to aiming for Council to be demographically representative of the UK.

The initial appointment term is three years. Council members are eligible for re-appointment at the expiry of that term, for one additional term only.

Closing date: 23:59 on Sunday 1st December 2024.

Interviews: w/c 20th January 2025.

You will be informed as soon as possible after the application deadline whether you have been selected for interview.
