Job description

External Engagement and Global - Communications

A total of two full-time posts are available for a fixed term of 2 years, starting as soon as possible. These roles sit within the External Engagement and Global Directorate but you will be working as part of the University of Exeter Business School, Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy.

There are posts available at Communications Impact Fellow level (Grade F) and Senior Communications Impact Fellow level (Grade G). Please indicate in your application which grade(s) you are applying for.

Flexible and hybrid working will be offered to suit the individuals appointed and the requirements of the role.

Summary of the role

We are seeking outstanding and highly motivated individuals to form part of the new Hoffmann Impact Team for Accelerating Action on Nature and Climate led by Professor Gail Whiteman, the inaugural Hoffmann Impact Professor for Nature and Climate. The Hoffmann Impact Team is a unique, high-performing team which privileges the role of scholarly evidence and engagement to mobilise action as opposed to perpetuating the divide between science and practice.

We capitalise on the breadth of expertise within the University of Exeter, alongside our partners and a growing number of sector contacts, to accelerate our activity to have a greater impact before the end of the decade. We are building capacity to develop and implement concrete ‘impact pathways’ of our knowledge base, and deliver bespoke sustainability leadership training to corporate, consumer and boardroom decision-makers through dedicated resources, access to leading academics and online tools.

To effect positive change, we know from experience that we need to speak to and engage the companies who are sitting at key leverage points in their sector and who will activate wider systems change. We want to systematically approach sectors with a team of experts and resources. We are therefore recruiting two Communications Impact Fellows.

If you want to turbocharge support for low carbon and nature-positive action, by building science-informed impact pathways in key target industry sectors, please apply.

Please ensure you read the Job Description and Person Specification for full details of this role.

The University of Exeter

We are a member of the prestigious Russell Group of research-intensive universities and in the top 200 universities in the world (Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2024 and QS World University Ranking 2024). We combine world-class teaching with world-class research, achieving a Gold rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework Award 2023, underpinned by Gold ratings for Student Experience and Student Outcomes.

Our world-leading research impact has grown more than any other Russell Group university in recent years, and we are home to some of the world’s most influential researchers, seeking to answer some of the most fundamental issues facing humankind today. More than 99 percent of our research is of international quality and 47 percent is world-leading (2021 Research Excellence Framework).

We encourage proactive engagement with industry, business and community partners to enhance the impact of research and education and improve the employability of our students. Read about our world leading research – Green Futures and how we are transforming education for a changing world. We are located in a beautiful part of the country and Exeter (a fast growing tech hub) is one of only a few UK cities to have been designated as a UNESCO Creative City.

We are proud signatories of the Armed Forces Covenant and welcome applications from service people.

Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Commitment

We are committed to ensuring reasonable adjustments are available for interviews and workplaces.

Whilst all applicants will be judged on merit alone, we particularly welcome applications from groups currently underrepresented within our working community.

With over 30,000 students and 7,000 staff from 150 different countries, we offer a diverse and engaging environment where our diversity is celebrated and valued as a major strength. We are committed to creating an inclusive culture where all members of our community are supported to thrive; where diverse voices are heard through our engagement with evidence-based charter frameworks for gender (Athena SWAN and Project Juno for Physics), race equality (Race Equality Charter Mark), LGBTQ+ inclusion (Stonewall Diversity Champion) and as a Disability Confident employer.

Benefits

We offer some fantastic benefits including:

  • 41 days’ leave per year
  • options for flexible working
  • numerous discounts at leading retailers
  • onsite gyms on all of our campuses and a cycle to work scheme
  • sector leading policies around maternity, adoption and shared parental leave (up to 26 weeks’ full pay), paternity leave (up to six weeks’ full pay) and a Fertility Treatment Policy
  • stunning campus environments in Exeter and Cornwall, in the beautiful South West of England
