Job description

Help shape science policy that tackles the biggest challenges of our time.
From tackling the health impacts of climate change and supporting healthy ageing to advancing medical innovation, physiology – the science of how the body works – underpins some of the most urgent and exciting frontiers in research and policy today. At The Physiological Society, we bring together scientists from around the world to champion evidence-based policy and support a thriving research ecosystem. We’re looking for a Policy and Public Affairs Officer to join our team and help ensure science plays a central role in shaping policy for healthier, longer lives. Whether your background is in health, biomedical research, the environment or science policy more broadly, this role offers a unique opportunity to make an impact across a wide range of issues. You will join us at an exciting time, as we host the Global Climate & Health Summit.

About the role
You’ll play a vital role in delivering an ambitious programme of policy and public affairs activity, influencing government, engaging key stakeholders and championing evidence-based policy informed by physiology. Working closely with the Policy and Public Affairs Manager, internal teams, Society members and global experts, your work will span issues such as precision medicine, climate change and health, and research funding. This is an exciting opportunity to shape the broader R&D and policy landscape while supporting a dynamic scientific community.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Developing policy positions and crafting impactful responses to government consultations
  • Monitoring political developments and advising internal stakeholders
  • Building strong relationships with policymakers, parliamentarians and external partners
  • Organising events such as policy briefings and parliamentary receptions
  • Supporting funding proposals for policy-related initiatives
  • Writing engaging briefings, statements and communications tailored to diverse audiences

About you
You’ll be passionate about policy and science, with a strong understanding of how public affairs can influence change. You’ll also bring:

  • A degree in life sciences, public policy, political science, or a related field
  • Proven experience developing and advocating for policy positions
  • Excellent communication and writing skills, including the ability to translate complex ideas clearly
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects
  • Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders and representing the organisation externally

Desirable:

  • Familiarity with the UK and Ireland’s research and science policy landscape
  • Experience using digital tools for public engagement and stakeholder management
  • Event planning experience
  • Understanding of climate, health or biomedical research policy

Why join us?
At The Physiological Society, we are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion and strongly encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, particularly those from underrepresented communities.

You’ll be part of a supportive, mission-driven team making a real difference in how science shapes society.

We offer excellent benefits, including private medical insurance and a generous pension scheme.

How to apply
To apply, please send your CV and a covering letter outlining how your experience aligns with the role.
