We are seeking a part-time Research and Communications Officer to join our team. The successful candidate will manage ‘Fodder,’ our fortnightly newsletter. Responsibilities will include reviewing recent research and food systems developments, collating approximately 12 items per issue, writing 3-5 short summaries of relevant journal articles/reports, developing processes for finding and summarising relevant news items, and identifying items for the opportunities and events board.
