Project Description
As part of GFEI’s commitment to fostering impactful research and engagement, we are offering a placement opportunity for a PhD student with a strong interest in sustainability, communications, and research engagement.
The successful candidate will support the planning and delivery of a series of smaller networking and engagement events that bring together academics and external stakeholders to explore innovative solutions for sustainable food and environmental futures. These events aim to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration and enhance the visibility of GFEI’s research activities.
In addition to event support, the placement will involve collating and communicating research impact across the Institute, contributing to the development of engaging content that showcases GFEI’s work to diverse audiences. This may include writing case studies, supporting social media and web content, and assisting with internal and external communications.
This placement offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in research communications, stakeholder engagement, and event coordination within a dynamic interdisciplinary research environment. The role will involve close collaboration with the GFEI team and provide valuable professional development in both academic and applied contexts.
