Researcher for the TABLE Initiative at University of Oxford

Job Description

We are seeking a full-time researcher / writer to join our small but growing international team. Note that while you will be based at an academic institution and be expected to produce intellectually rigorous work you will not be writing for academic journals. Your focus will be on writing clear, balanced and thoughtful analytical pieces for professionals who work in the food systems space. These include people working for NGOs, policy makers, the food industry as well as students and academics. These pieces will be peer reviewed and published on the TABLE website and as such will be read by a large and global audience.
