Hello all
1. Research communicator officer job
The Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC) is looking for a Research communication officer for nine months (£25k pro rata), vacancy closes on 14 June.
More details and job description at the AMRC's site, here http://www.amrc.org.uk/about-us_jobs
2. Other resources
• Charity Comms http://www.charitycomms.org.uk/jobs/ <-- charity jobs which can include but definitely not limited to science communication
• Career help for women - "Women Like Us" - http://www.womenlikeus.org.uk/home.aspx <-- this covers a wide range of jobs and is not focused on science communication
• Timewise jobs - for part-time work (a sister project of Women Like Us) - http://www.timewisejobs.co.uk/
• BIG - British Interactive Group - http://www.big.uk.com/jobs
• UK Association for Science and Discovery Centres (job page currently being updated) - http://sciencecentres.org.uk/jobs/
• ScicommJobs (by me) - a database of job descriptions for science communication jobs - http://scicommjobs.posterous.com or Twitter @ScicommJobs / https://twitter.com/#!/scicommjobs
• Science Communication Jobs in London (again, me) - a list of science / research / medical organisations' vacancies pages, my reasoning being that they are quite likely to employ science communicators of one kind of another :) - https://bitly.com/ScicommLondon - I created this (and have since added to it) in 2003 when I was trying to get a sense of the scicomm landscape and realised how massive it is.
If you know of other #scicomm-ish job resources, ping 'em over :)
It looks like there are a lot of scicomm jobs at the moment (I appreciate these things go in cycles). What's it like for people who are looking for jobs though? The volume of jobs isn't necessarily that cheering if the volume of applicants is likely to swamp them - how are people finding 'the market'? Feel free to reply off list at [log in to unmask]
Toodle-oo,
