Our people come from a wide range of backgrounds, each bringing their abilities and experiences to our organisation.

The University isn’t just any employer. We are part of a local community and a contributor to global thinking, progress and research. In Edinburgh, you are in one of the world’s most attractive cities with active arts and social sectors, while working in a University that has made significant contributions to society, medicine, physics and teaching for over four centuries.

Join the University of Edinburgh and you’ll be making a difference to everything around you

The University of Edinburgh is a world-class organisation. We look for the best in the field across all disciplines and provide a working environment where academics can develop their careers and passion for their chosen subject area. We offer the full range of academic roles and have a genuine focus on our students performance and wellbeing.

The Opportunity:

This part-time role will provide communications, digital content, stakeholder coordination and administrative support for the PBIAA on Offshore Wind. Working under the Programme Manager and in close coordination with the Communications and Industry Engagement Coordinator, the postholder will support website updates, newsletters, event notices, stakeholder briefings, communications materials, contact repositories and routine information routing.

This post is part-time (approximately 17.5 hours per week). We are open to considering flexible working patterns. The role is primarily remote/home-based, with occasional in-person attendance for key programme meetings, events and stakeholder activities in Scotland, particularly around the Forth and Tay region and partner institutions. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working on a non-contractual basis where this supports programme delivery.

People have always been at the heart of our work. As part of the University, you are a part of our community. We are looking for people with drive, determination, and a passion for what they do. We are a place where everyone is welcome and offer a range of policies and benefits designed to support you in building the right meaningful/personalised flexibility for you.
