Dear Simon,
I would suggest that you consider placing the advert on the House of Commons free jobs page http://www.w4mpjobs.org/
It doesn't just advertise parliamentary-related jobs, although that was why it was set up. From past experience I know that advertising science policy jobs on here can reach an interested audience.
Best wishes with the recruitment, Hannah

Subject: Policy and Communications consultant needed
Hello,
I'm looking to recruit someone to help with our policy and
communications work here at the Software Sustainability Institute
(University of Southampton). Apart from plugging the job on psci-comm, I
was wondering whether anyone had any advice about advertising this kind
of role? We're looking at putting the advert out on jobs.ac.uk, Guardian
jobs and maybe on Monster too. Any help would be very much appreciated!
In short, we're looking for someone who can write, can put together a
strong argument and has a general knowledge of science. It's a two-year
post, on a salary scale of £27,578 to £33,884.
The basic information is in the job advert:
https://www.jobs.soton.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=175612FP
I also wrote a blog post with a bit more information about the job and
working for the Institute:

Subject: Science Communication Conference dates and topics
Dear psci-com
We are starting to think about content for the 2013 Science Communication Conference and would really value your input in helping us shape the event by asking you what you'd like to see in the programme. We try to have a programme that is a mix of sessions that we, as organisers, plan as well as having sessions that anyone else can suggest and organise.
We will announce a call for proposals shortly where you can suggest a session that you would like to organise but in the mean time we wondered if you could suggest any key issues that you think we should address.
Here are a few suggestions that came up at a brainstorming last week to get you thinking so any comments on these or completely new ideas would be most welcome.
* Open access
* Links between public engagement and policy
* Links between PR and public engagement
* Perceived tension between academics who study scicomm and practitioners
* REF and the impact statement
* Making the most of partnerships
* Cuts and funding
About the conference
The British Science Association organises the Conference in partnership with the Wellcome Trust. Next year it will take place in London on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 May. This two day event is the only cross-sector conference, bringing together people from across the science communication field. Over 400 people usually attend the conference, including both seasoned sci-commers and those who are new to the sector. Representatives from science centres, festivals, research councils, universities, learned societies, charities as well as freelancers and small consultancies enjoy networking among the variety of delegates attending.
Thanks!
Alice

Subject: King's College London's new BSc in Science Engagement & Communication
Dear All,
List members may be interested to know that details of our new BSc in Science Engagement & Communication are now online. The three-year degree course is due to start in September 2013 and we wanted to take this opportunity to let list members know about it and to thank those of you who have been involved in helping us develop it.
The course has been designed to provide students with practical experiences of science engagement and communication alongside academic studies of relevant research, theories and policy developments. Students will take a science course in years 1 and 2 and have a placement in one of our many excellent science engagement institutions in Year 2.If you know of anyone who might be interested in taking this course, do ask them to drop us a line for an informal chat.
Information about the course can be found here: http://graduation.kcl.ac.uk/prospectus/undergraduate/science-engagement-and-communication. We might try to get a better photograph on the site – it wasn’t our choice!
We hope that this course contributes to the growing strength of science engagement and communication in the UK and beyond!
Best wishes

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Science Communication Conference dates and topics
Dear psci-com
We are starting to think about content for the 2013 Science Communication Conference and would really value your input in helping us shape the event by asking you what you'd like to see in the programme. We try to have a programme that is a mix of sessions that we, as organisers, plan as well as having sessions that anyone else can suggest and organise.
We will announce a call for proposals shortly where you can suggest a session that you would like to organise but in the mean time we wondered if you could suggest any key issues that you think we should address.
Here are a few suggestions that came up at a brainstorming last week to get you thinking so any comments on these or completely new ideas would be most welcome.
* Open access
* Links between public engagement and policy
* Links between PR and public engagement
* Perceived tension between academics who study scicomm and practitioners
* REF and the impact statement
* Making the most of partnerships
* Cuts and funding
About the conference
The British Science Association organises the Conference in partnership with the Wellcome Trust. Next year it will take place in London on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 May. This two day event is the only cross-sector conference, bringing together people from across the science communication field. Over 400 people usually attend the conference, including both seasoned sci-commers and those who are new to the sector. Representatives from science centres, festivals, research councils, universities, learned societies, charities as well as freelancers and small consultancies enjoy networking among the variety of delegates attending.
Thanks!
Alice

Subject: Tuesday 11 December - 'Mind the gap... in our knowldge: addressing information bias in conservation science' - 6pm, ZSL
Dear all,
TUESDAY 11 DECEMBER - 'MIND THE GAP... IN OUR KNOWLEGDE: ADDRESSING INFORMATION BIAS IN CONSERVATION SCIENCE'
Perhaps the single most important element of conservation science is information. Without sufficient information, how can we possibly expect to understand and protect species and habitats? However, despite the volume of knowledge we currently have in the 'information-age', we have a tenuous grasp of what drives trends in scientific research. If much of it is driven by the motivation and passion of individual scientists and the public at large, then does the sum body of research provide the public with a balanced understanding of the species around us? Such an understanding is critical given the diversity of species around us and current levels of threats on a global scale. This event will look at extremely well known and diverse groups of animals in which individual species vary greatly in the degree to which they are studied and recorded by scientists. We will explore biases in the information-base, highlight reasons and mechanisms behind gaps in our knowledge, and will outline some of the implications of these biases for the success of conservation science.
Speakers and talk titles
Nature and notoriety: linking species traits and the extent to which they are studied - Zoe Brooke, ZSL
Monitoring global biodiversity under data uncertainty - Lucie Bland, ZSL & Imperial College London
Conservation insights from the fossil record: unique perspectives, unique biases - Sam Turvey, ZSL
Distorted views of biodiversity: spatial and temporal bias in species occurrence data - Lizzie Boakes, Imperial College London
This meeting will be chaired by Georgina Mace, University College London
This event in the 'Communicating science' series will begin at 6.00pm (doors open at 5.00pm) and talks are scheduled to finish at 7.45pm; admission is free and open to everyone. This event will be held in the ZSL Meeting Rooms and seats will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
3-COURSE DINNER WITH THE SPEAKERS
A dinner will follow this Science and Conservation Event and everyone is welcome. Dinner places cost £35 per person including two glasses of wine and reservations should be made before 5pm on Wednesday 5 December.
Hope to see you there!
All the best,
Megan

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Policy and Communications consultant needed
Hello,
I'm looking to recruit someone to help with our policy and communications
work here at the Software Sustainability Institute (University of
Southampton). Apart from plugging the job on psci-comm, I was wondering
whether anyone had any advice about advertising this kind of role? We're
looking at putting the advert out on jobs.ac.uk, Guardian jobs and maybe on
Monster too. Any help would be very much appreciated!
In short, we're looking for someone who can write, can put together a strong
argument and has a general knowledge of science. It's a two-year post, on a
salary scale of £27,578 to £33,884.
The basic information is in the job advert:
https://www.jobs.soton.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=175612FP
I also wrote a blog post with a bit more information about the job and
working for the Institute:
