Public Engagement and Communications Coordinator

University of Cambridge - Cambridge Institute for Medical Research

Location: Cambridge
Salary: £27,929 to £32,348 pro rata
Hours: Part Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 15th March 2023
Closes: 17th April 2023
Job Ref: SA33593

The Cambridge Institute for Medical Research (CIMR) is seeking to recruit an enthusiastic and skilled individual to plan, support and deliver impactful and strategy-led Public Engagement (PE) and Communications Coordinator at the Institute. 

CIMR is a cross-department research institute in the University of Cambridge's School of Clinical Medicine. At the interface between laboratory research and the clinic, CIMR's mission is to determine the molecular mechanisms of disease in order to advance human health. 

Communicating and sharing what we do is an important component of this mission. CIMR's PE vision is to foster a culture of two-way research engagement within the Institute and to increase knowledge and understanding of the Institute's research among diverse public groups and patient audiences through the provision of accessible information. The role-holder will be the lead person on this engagement while also supporting the delivery of a broader Communications strategy for external and internal audiences ranging from keeping CIMR's website up to date, (co-)producing short CIMR research updates for general audiences, to producing CIMR's internal newsletter for all staff and students. 

The role-holder will also liaise with key PE, Public & Patient Involvement (PPI) and Communications leads across the Schools of Clinical Medicine and wider University to ensure that CIMR Public Engagement and Communications remain well-connected, informed and collaborative. 

Reporting to CIMR's Scientific Research Strategy Manager, the successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring that engaging external and internal Communications are a feature of CIMR, and that meaningful engagement with diverse public audiences is seen as an essential part of research. 

The role's working pattern would be agreed in line with business needs and the events schedule. However, there is some flexibility regarding the level of part-time working hours which could vary between around 0.6 FTE to 0.8 FTE. As there is a limited funding source for the role, the role's exact duration will be dependent on the finally-agreed levels of FTE and salary, but in the first instance the role is expected to be for between around two and three years maximum. There is an expectation that further funding will be sought by CIMR to extend the position to become a longer-term feature of the Institute. There will also be a degree of hybrid (home / CIMR office) working possible with the role. 

Expected interview date: Friday 12th May 2023 Candidates invited for interview will be asked to complete a pre-interview written task.

We welcome applications from individuals who wish to be considered for part-time working or other flexible working arrangements as noted above.
