1. Job vacancies pages http://brodiesnotes.blogspot.com/2009/07/amrc-member-charities-websites.html
Ever since I moved into the world of science communication in 2003 I've
kept a list of places which might employ science communicators in
London (and beyond).
At the time I was looking for a job myself and began to 'scope out the
landscape' (sorry) of the science communication field, and that was
probably the first time I came across many of the organisations with
which I'm now very familiar. What I've tried to do with the list is to
organise it into an admittedly random taxonomy (eg medical research
charities, various scientific organisations that start with Royal etc).
I'm not sure I've made much success of organising the information
though, as I've ended up with an expanding and unwieldy collection of
vacancies pages.
(Neither the title nor the
URL are reliable as I've expanded it beyond London, and beyond
Association of Medical Research charities as well.)
Most science communication jobs are probably advertised on psci-com (or
ABSW-L, or Stempra etc) but some organisations either don't know about
the mailing lists or don't necessarily think of their job as being
'science communication'.
I hope people find it a useful resource and what I'd really like is
suggestions both for new categories and for new entries within
categories. If you're reading this from your desk at work chances are
they might be employing a science communicator or two (I've given the
phrase a pretty wide remit) and if your organisation has a vacancies
page I'd be happy to
add it (mailto:[log in to unmask]).
2. Job ads & descriptions http://scicommjobs.posterous.com
Job adverts, and the accompanying job descriptions, tend to have a
shortish half-life on the internet. The job is advertised, then closed,
and so the completed job-advert page is removed from view.
My second collection has been about 'trapping' the job ads &
descriptions while they're in the wild, for anyone to view later. The
reasoning behind this is that there's information in them that might be
useful to someone planning their next or next-but-one career move. Also
it can be helpful to have info on recently closed jobs from the same
organisation - it's a little bit of extra intelligence. Plus it's quite
interesting just to see what's out there.
There's a full list of all
the job adverts posted (from October 2009 to 19 June 2010) here http://scicommjobs.posterous.com/index-of-science-communication-jobs-posted-oc
(short link http://post.ly/k2JS).
Hope everyone who's at BIG (http://www.big.uk.com/bigevent/)
in Newcastle is having a wonderful time (I wish I was there!),
Jo
