Policy Fellowships Coordinator (Fixed Term)

The Centre for Science and Policy (CSaP) at the Cambridge Judge Business School enables policy makers to draw on the expertise of researchers. The Policy Fellowships programme is its flagship service, which offers policy makers a bespoke two-year programme of one-to-one meetings and workshops with researchers, who are carefully selected and briefed to share their latest ideas and evidence to help address policy issues of the day.

You will meet new Policy Fellows from all areas of government, help shape their policy questions, seek researchers who can help, and design tailored programmes to foster dialogue. You will also support a wide range of other activities to build the network and explore live policy issues.

The CSaP network is extraordinary. While centred on the University of Cambridge, it includes the Cambridge ecosystem of companies, extends to other leading academic institutions across the country, and embraces not only central government departments but also devolved, regional and local government organisations, other public bodies and international organisations.

You will be a graduate with a driving interest in public policy making, who loves diving into new complex topics, working and communicating with people, and nailing the details. This role offers an unparalleled opportunity to enter the policy world and make a difference - a career in itself but also a potential springboard into the civil service, policy thinktanks, or postgraduate research.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 2 years in the first instance.
