This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

The Horizons Institute provides a global platform for responding to urgent global challenges through bold and imaginative interdisciplinary research. Horizons focuses on building interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaborations, and enhancing interdisciplinary skills through its four core work streams: Headline Pillar (what comes after the UN Sustainable Development Goals), Challenge Pillars (interdisciplinary research networks of time, place, ageing, and global biosphere sensing), Global Academy, and Partnerships for Societal Impact.

The Horizons Institute seeks to recruit an intern or position holder who will support the Horizons Communications Manager to produce creative digital media content.

This is a fantastic professional development opportunity to gain relevant experience in the HE sector and support interdisciplinary collaboration, working closely with the highly experienced Horizons Institute team and our networks of interdisciplinary and cross-sector research partners.
