It also explores how intersectoral and international cooperation can be energised to address new and persistent risks to global health, whether naturally occurring, accidentally or deliberately caused.

What you will do

• Support the delivery of high-impact global health research projects.

• Conduct policy-relevant research, analysis and writing.

• Help organise events, workshops and stakeholder engagement activities.

• Present findings clearly to a range of audiences.

• Contribute to fundraising and the development of new project opportunities.

What you will bring

• Research experience in global health policy or a related field.

• Strong writing, communication and presentation skills.

• The ability to manage multiple priorities and work collaboratively.

• Excellent organisation, attention to detail and problem-solving skills.

• Experience supporting research proposals, events or stakeholder engagement.
