The Nuffield Council on Bioethics (NCOB) is seeking an experienced researcher to lead on the design, development and execution of project deliverables under the Mind & Brain priority area work programme.

We are on a mission to place ethics at the centre of decisions regarding biomedicine and health so that we all benefit. In this new role, your main focus will be working across our Mind & Brain priority area, but you may also be expected to work on other projects and policy areas as necessary, particularly any complex or time-sensitive research and policy projects associated with NCOB’s priority areas.

You will act as an expert on your portfolio within the NCOB and be responsible for elements of project-specific publications (including conception, drafting and delivery) alongside significant stakeholder management, outreach and coordination. This will include working with communications and public affairs colleagues to deploy communications strategies and creating different forms of content, seeing outputs through from inception to publication and evaluation.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced candidate who is able to use their project management skills and policy/research experience in a leading role in the high-profile area of bioethics, supporting our ambitious policy-influencing agenda.

You will have expertise and an active interest in the practical and ethical issues relating to emerging biotechnologies and/or neuroethics in a UK context. This will be supported by a broader knowledge and enthusiasm for bioethical issues and the policy, scientific, regulatory and legal environment around these.

You will have experience of designing, delivering and managing rigorous and collaborative research projects, using a range of research methods, that have ethical considerations at the heart of the research and which will have real policy impact.
