Are you passionate about the role that policy and advocacy work can play in benefitting society? Are you a policy expert or do you have strong research and analytical skills and experience of producing evidence-based reports? Are you excited by the prospect of being part of a ground-breaking initiative to establish a national Academy for the Mathematical Sciences? If so, here are unique opportunities for you to join the proto-Academy for Mathematical Sciences as they establish a Policy Unit.
If this sounds like you or someone you know then please see the following two vacancies: Policy Manager and Policy Analyst.
In these roles, you will have the opportunity to proactively contribute to national discussions on policy topics that require mathematical sciences input, from artificial intelligence and quantum computing to net zero initiatives, circular economy, biodiversity, and ethics, in addition to playing a vital role in shaping policy reports, papers, and communications on issues concerning the mathematical sciences including education, funding and recruitment.
The closing date for applications for both roles is Thursday 22 June.
See more information on the Academy for Mathematical Sciences website.
Update on the Academy's consultation period
As part of the feasibility and set-up phase, the Academy will be consulting the mathematical sciences community to inform next steps and to help with identifying initial priorities for the Academy’s activities. The consultation exercise will be held from 26 April to 30 June, which will include four online events bringing together opinions from across the wide range of the mathematical sciences community.
