Residencies Coordinator (Part Time, Fixed Term)

The Cambridge Conservation Initiative (CCI) is a unique partnership between leaders in biodiversity conservation research, education, policy and practice from six founding University Departments (Zoology, Plant Sciences, Geography, Land Economy, Cambridge Judge Business School and Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership) and nine internationally renowned Cambridge-based conservation organisations (BirdLife International, British Trust for Ornithology, Cambridge Conservation Forum, Fauna & Flora International, International Union for the Conservation of Nature, RSPB, Traffic International, Tropical Biological Association and the United Nations Environment World Conservation Monitoring Centre). CCI aims to transform international biodiversity conservation by catalysing strategic partnerships between leaders in research, education, policy and practice.

One of the priority areas of collaboration within CCI's Five Year Plan is to focus on the restoration of ecosystems and landscapes for the benefit of biodiversity. To this end and thanks to the generosity of Arcadia, the charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin, CCI has created the Endangered Landscapes Programme (ELP). This programme manages a series of large-scale multi-million-pound landscape restoration projects that combine research, practice and policy change across Europe. The ELP is a major and new expansion of CCI's ability to deliver its collaborative international agenda to understand and conserve biodiversity.

The purpose of the Residencies Coordinator is to coordinate and manage a series of artist residencies (ELAR) for CCI's Endangered Landscape Programme with a focus on in situ practice, and in collaboration with the wider arts, science and conservation residency programme at CCI.

With proven experience of coordinating residencies, the successful candidate will have excellent organisational skills, the ability to multi-task and deliver to deadlines without compromising on quality. Strong communication skills are essential in this role, particularly the ability to effectively interact with a variety of stakeholders, and nurture and foster essential working relationships.
