Vacancy: Communications Intern – Food Climate Research Network (FCRN)

Deadline: 7 September, 2012. 

The Food Climate Research Network is looking for a communications intern to help raise the profile of the organisation, improve its usefulness and accessibility to users, and help develop collaborations and interactions among a growing network of researchers and policy makers working in the field of food and climate. The internship is offered on a fixed term ending on 31st December 2012 with the intern based working from home. It is envisaged that the internship would be part-time for at least 1 day per week, with the opportunity for more work as the project develops.

Job description

Specifically, the intern will be tasked to take the initiative in the following key areas:

• Raise the profile of the FCRN and attract new members
• Focus specifically on increasing membership by stakeholders in developing countries (spanning the research, NGO, policy and food industry communities)
• Develop ways of catalysing knowledge exchange and collaborative activities among the existing FCRN membership and among new members as they join
• Promote ways of communicating Northern perspectives on food system sustainability to Southern audiences and Southern perspectives on food system sustainability to Northern audiences: at the moment there are very different perspectives on key issues, eg. GHG mitigation, the role of livestock, consumption patterns and behaviour change; nutrition, the role of the food industry, waste, transport infrastructure; and there is much to be gained by furthering understanding of where these different perspectives are ‘coming from. '

Actions to further these goals are likely to include greater focus in the following areas:

• Improving the look and useability of the FCRN website
• Working on improving the utility of the User pages and the Forum pages (accessible to Network members)
• Considering how the mailings might be used to elicit more feedback and commentary from FCRN network members

• Monitoring web use and membership statistics
• Inviting members to write blogs and generally profile their work and activities more on the website
• Communicating information about the FCRN to other organisations working on food- climate issues particularly in developing country contexts

This is not an exhaustive list and the intern would be very much expected to take the initiative here. At all times the intern would work in consultation with Tara Garnett (FCRN coordinator) and John Jackson (website manager).

Required skills

• Networking and communications skills
• Excellent written and spoken English
• Interest in and good grasp of food, climate and sustainability issues
• Ability to be organised, self motivated
