Wellcome is a global charitable foundation. We improve health for everyone by funding science, leading policy and advocacy campaigns, and building partnerships. We plan to spend £16bn over the next ten years, funding new discoveries in life, health and well being, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate. These challenges need the bold research our funding supports, but they won't be solved by science alone. We are looking for up to five Research Managers to contribute to the delivery of the Climate & Health programme ensuring strategic objectives are met. Each role will be focused on delivering within one of the Climate & Health sub-teams (Impacts and Adaptation; Mitigation; and Capacity and Field Development) which you can express a preference for in your application. Further detail on each sub-team can be found below. This role is part of the Climate & Health team, which will deliver an ambitious portfolio of research, translation and engagement activity. This role will support the team to convene, fund and share learning in-line with the Climate & Health strategy by implementing specific projects and activities such as: implementing and assessing funding calls and commissions, convening groups, drafting reports and liaising with internal and external groups and individuals as required. Our vision is a world where catastrophic climate breakdown is averted in a way that allows human health to flourish. More information about Wellcome's Climate & Health work can be found here . Impacts & Adaptation role The climate Impacts & Adaptation team will develop and fund a portfolio of research to support the evidence base of the effects on health of climate change that can help identify vulnerabilities and underpin effective mitigation and adaptation actions, and support the development, evaluation and advancement of climate adaptation actions. We will bring together scientists from a wide range of disciplines to undertake policy relevant climate and health research including novel methods for impact assessment and knowledge synthesis. We will also seek opportunities that cut across Wellcome's two other Challenge areas (infectious disease and mental health). We expect applicants to have an understanding of how climate and health integrate across systems and sectors, a broad understanding of research methods and have significant expertise in relation to at least one specialist area of climate and health science, broadly defined. Mitigation role The climate Mitigation team will fund research to support the development, evaluation and advancement of climate mitigation interventions that are designed to improve health outcomes. We will support trans-disciplinary science that brings together researchers from climate, health and related sectors - together with policy actors, the private sector and those responsible for driving action to ensure that our research addresses the needs of research users and increases the likelihood of uptake, from the local to global levels. We expect applicants to have a strong understanding of how climate and health integrate across systems and sectors, and have significant expertise in relation to at least one specialist area of climate and health science, broadly defined. We welcome applicants with a diverse range of experiences at the research-to-action interface from identifying and advancing policies and solutions, systems thinking and evaluating complex interventions, implementation research and climate or health economics, to product development and novel and/or technological solutions (these are illustrative examples only). Capacity and Field Development role The Capacity and Field Development team will help catalyse a more coherent and diverse climate and health science community that shares values and goals, fosters creative new research, and unearths new understanding from existing evidence. We believe that to advance research and policy in climate and health will require a trans-disciplinary approach that brings together researchers from different fields relevant to climate and health - together with policy actors, the private sector and others responsible for driving action. Understanding and addressing climate change and health will require an appreciation of how biological, physical and social factors interact. Our approach to field building includes ensuring climate and health scientists from diverse disciplines use common metrics, learn from each other and make use of the insights and views of those most affected. Successful applicants will need to have significant expertise in relation to at least one specialist area of climate and health science, broadly defined, and experience of working with and convening researchers from diverse backgrounds. Across all areas, we welcome applicants from a diverse range of experiences in interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research, research management and research funding from academia, government, the private sector and civil society. A PhD is not essential, but experience of conducting or evaluating research will be advantageous and prior experience in an international context is an advantage.
