TABLE is a global platform for thinking and dialogue on priority concerns and contestations around the future of food. It seeks to facilitate informed discussions about how the food system can become sustainable, resilient, just, and ultimately “good,” and to set out the evidence, assumptions, and values that people bring to food system debates. Originally founded as a collaboration between the University of Oxford, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and Wageningen University & Research (WUR), the TABLE network has since expanded to include la Universidad de los Andes (Colombia), la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and Cornell CALS (USA).https://www.tabledebates.org/
We are seeking a full time individual to join our small but growing international team, with managerial experience who is keen to combine knowledge exchange, science communication and programme management with some postdoctoral work.
The successful candidate will possess this combination of qualification and qualities: a PhD in a field relevant to food systems, administrative or project management experience in a research environment or other large, complex organisation, excellent research skills, a demonstrable ability to write in a balanced, clear and accessible way for non-academic audiences, an open mind, and a desire to communicate, working at the interface of research and practice. You will have an understanding that your writing will be primarily for the TABLE website and our global audience rather than for academic journals. A commitment to fostering global dialogue that at the same time avoids the need for carbon-intensive air travel, and an imaginative approach and willingness to experiment to that end.
Applications are particularly welcome and encouraged from women candidates and black and minority ethnic candidates who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford. SoGE is committed to equality and values diversity.
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online. You will be required to upload a CV and supporting statement as part of your online application.
The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Friday 10 May 2024, interview will take place as soon as possible after 28 May 2024.
