The Geological Society is looking for a Policy Intern. The position is full time, for an initial term of three months (with a possible extension of a further three months), reporting to the Head of Strategy and External Relations. It provides an exciting opportunity to gain experience in a range of science policy areas, including geoscience input to policy-making, higher education and research funding, and international matters.

The Policy Intern will be paid the London Living Wage (£8.30 per hour, equivalent to £17,264 per annum).

You will also be involved in drafting consultation responses, researching topical issues to inform the Society’s policy work and administering projects such as our parliamentary shadowing scheme.

You should attach your CV and a covering letter explaining why you are interested in the role, and what relevant experience and skills you have. Your application must arrive by 10am on Monday 24 September. Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed shortly afterwards.
