As Engagement Lead (science and tech), you will play a central role in leading Involve’s work and building out our strategy on public engagement in the science, technology, and data field. The job will involve leading on our Sciencewise programme of public dialogue as well as supporting, growing, and communicating our science and tech public engagement in general. You will be a proven project leader and strategic thinker looking to make your next move and develop your leadership and profile in this important area of public engagement work.
Involve achieves its impacts by growing expertise in sector-specific areas where public engagement is important. Science and tech represent policy areas where citizen engagement on both principles and practice is vital and where public engagement can also open the door to broader deliberative democratic interventions and feedback loops. Technological advancement, including AI, presents risks and opportunities and will be an ongoing priority for government with five critical technologies likely to be central to UK policy for at least the next government.
Involve has a significant pedigree and is well networked in the area of public engagement in science. Over the last 20 years, we have been thought leaders in this space, in particular running the government’s science and tech engagement programme, Sciencewise. We have developed a reputation for best practice public dialogue, deliberation, and capacity building.
