Urban planning is a highly topical question these days with media discussion of housing, high speed rail and a focus on the critical role of planning in designing post-pandemic cities and addressing Climate Change.

We are looking for an enthusiastic person with a wide ranging interest in urban planning and related fields. You will commission and manage research projects on planning and public policy. You will also act as a ‘knowledge broker’ between academic researchers and planning practitioners.

You will have a postgraduate degree in planning or a related subject and experience in disseminating research to a wide range of audiences.
