The Food Foundation is an award winning charity with a vision of a sustainable food system which delivers health and well-being for all.
We are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace where every team member feels valued and empowered.
We believe that embracing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) is fundamental to our success and the positive impact we make.
An exciting opportunity has arisen at The Food Foundation to work at the intersect of research, advocacy and policy.
The postholder will undertake policy-relevant research on a range of topics such as health and environmental outcomes, food prices and food insecurity.
The postholder will sit within the policy team but will work with colleagues across the organisation, leading research and supporting science communications.
You will work closely with colleagues and academic partners to shape research questions that provide the necessary insights to support our advocacy, engagement and campaign work.
You'll also conduct data analysis in house, primarily of government datasets as well as You Gov polling data for our Food Insecurity surveys.
In addition, you'll support the team with reports and briefings, undertaking literature reviews and identifying research gaps.
The postholder will lead on the updating and development of our widely used data visualisation dashboards, identifying ways to make them as user friendly and insightful as possible.
You will take initiative and be able to work independently, have an eye for detail and an inquisitive mind.
You'll be passionate about social change, and evidence-based campaigns and communications.
You'll be as confident analysing data, as you are with communicating findings to others.
You'll be a good collaborator, seeking to understand advocacy and campaign needs of data.
You'll be organised and have good time and project management skills.
This role may be a good fit for candidates with an education background in data science, nutritional epidemiology, statistics or public health, who have relevant work experience or are at postdoc level and looking to make a difference through research.
Please share whether you would prefer to work full-time or Part-time and the working pattern that you would prefer.
