Cambridge, United Kingdom Wellcome Sanger Institute Full time

Do you want to help us improve human health and understand life on Earth? Make your mark by shaping the future to enable or deliver life-changing science to solve some of humanity's greatest challenges.

We have an exciting new opportunity to join our Engagement and Society team in Wellcome Connecting Science. You will work closely with the Associate Director on research-related activities, as well as with other team members on specific projects.

We are seeking an enthusiastic social scientist with excellent project management skills, who is looking to develop their career in a research support role.

You will also provide extensive research project support, including drafting ethics approval documentation, and maintain oversight of budget(s), progress and the achievement of key milestones. Would suit someone who has just finished their PhD who is looking for research experience and research management before doing a post-doctoral position. Alternatively would suit an experienced researcher who is interested in supporting rather than leading research for 1 year.

You will work with researchers and administrators in the Engagement and Society team to ensure good information flow and identify any issues which require escalation. You are able to work from home as well as our office at the University of Cambridge (off Hills Road) and also at Wellcome Genome Campus in Hinxton.

You will be an excellent communicator who can contribute to policy briefings, blog posts and opinion pieces, working with the Connecting Science and Sanger Institute communication teams on specific projects as needed.

- Demonstrable project management experience, monitoring multiple workstreams, assessing and reporting progress, managing relationships
- Knowledge and understanding of the relationship between society and genetic and genomic science
- Excellent attention to detail and organisation skills needed to manage projects effectively
- Evidence of working independently and being proactive in solving problems, and using judgement to escalate specific matters
- Able to work effectively in a busy and dynamic environment
- Ability to develop effective working relationships, working flexibly and collaboratively
- Positive, open-minded with a flexible approach

**About us**:
Our work across Engagement and Society uses research and engagement methods to investigate the impact of genomics on people and communities. We listen, gather and share insights on public attitudes and experiences. And we use this understanding to create new and innovative ways to support a diverse range of communities, learners, educators, and researchers, discover how genomic science is relevant to our lives.

**Other Information**:

- Salary in the region of: £38,433 to £46,504
- One year fixed term maternity cover
- Closing date: 7th August

**Working at Wellcome Sanger**:
Our flexible-hybrid working environment is designed to support a healthy work-life balance. This means you can work flexibly with a combination of working from home, and working from our Campus to allow you to focus on being productive and part of the team while enjoying the benefits of working flexibly.

We aim to attract, recruit, retain and develop talent from the widest possible talent pool, thereby gaining insight and access to different markets to generate a greater impact on the world. We have a supportive culture with the following staff networks, LGBTQ+, Parents and Carers and Race Equity to bring people together to share experiences, offer specific support and development opportunities and raise awareness. The networks are also a place for allies to provide support to others.

We want our people to be whoever they want to be because we believe people who bring their best selves to work, do their best work. That's why we're committed to creating a truly inclusive culture at Sanger Institute. We will consider all individuals without discrimination and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees, where everyone can thrive.

**Our Benefits**:
We are proud to deliver an awarding campus-wide employee wellbeing strategy and programme. The importance of good health and adopting a healthier lifestyle and the commitment to reduce work-related stress is strongly acknowledged and recognised at Sanger Institute.
