This is a fixed term appointment for 12 months

The Grantham Research Institute is a world-leading centre for the study of the economics and social sciences of climate change and other global environmental problems, based at the London School of Economics and Political Science. The Institute’s work has been recognised through the award of the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education 2020-22.

EarthCap Nexus brings together world-leading research, technical expertise, and convening power to address a critical blind spot in today’s economy - the invisibility of natural capital and people in financial and economic decision-making. Its mission is to align finance and economic systems with climate, nature and societal goals, catalysing finance for sustainable, inclusive growth and resilience, particularly in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). 

Working closely with Professor Nicola Ranger and the EarthCap team, the post-holder will play a central role in planning, coordinating and monitoring all day-to-day activities of the initiative. This includes managing project delivery, budgets, reporting and stakeholder engagement, and supporting the effective running of research, engagement, and communications across the programme. 

This is a key leadership and coordination role requiring exceptional organisational skills, judgment, and the ability to work confidently with senior academics, funders, policymakers, and international partners. 

Candidates should have a degree or equivalent qualification, ideally in economics, environmental studies, development, public policy, finance or a related social science and demonstrable project management experience preferably in a university, think-tank, or international organisation.
