Science Policy Intern

2 weeks ago


Cambridge, United Kingdom The Royal Society of Chemistry Full time

Overview:
The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) have an exciting opportunity for a Science Policy Intern to work with us on a part-time or full-time (28-35 hours per week) fixed-term contract (6 months) basis to start from June 2024.

The RSC’s purpose is ‘to help the chemical sciences community make the world a better place’. One way we do this is by using evidence to persuade decision-makers (like members of Parliament and the Government) on issues that affect the chemical sciences - or where science plays an important part.

You will help us to do this by analysing a range of data, drawing conclusions from it and writing this up in a clear way, to help convince decision-makers of the need for action. You will also be involved in supporting events and round tables that involve members of our community and government policymakers, by organising these and helping to write the recommendations. Through round tables, consulting members and desk research, you will gather evidence for developing policy positions. You will also provide some administrative support to the team.

Our science policy activities cover issues that affect chemistry research and innovation and issues where the chemical sciences play an important role in informing decisions. You will be part of the Policy and Evidence Team, which works on some of the hottest topics such as the UK’s future scientific relationships and science policy, chemicals policy, environment, science and infrastructure funding, climate change and industrial strategy.

At the RSC we embrace flexibility and offer hybrid working, which means our teams come together when they need to collaborate.

**What we are looking for**:

- Strong research skills, especially the ability to find, understand and evaluate information relevant to solving a given problem, drawing and explaining conclusions from that, with the ability to scan information for relevance to a given topic or problem.
- Strong oral and written communication skills - in particular, the ability to summarise key points from a discussion clearly in writing in a timely manner, to make clear requests of others and negotiate politely where necessary.
- Interest in Government, Parliament and public policy that affects science.
- Able to use the MS Office suite easily to produce documents, analyse data, collaborate with others (including Word, PowerPoint and Excel).
