About the Blavatnik School of Government

Our vision is of a world better led, a world better served and a world better governed. We are a global school committed to improving the quality of government and public policy making worldwide, through three routes:
teaching current and future leaders
; generating
research with impact
; and engaging with governments and practitioners
.

The School is a collaborative, friendly, and dynamic department based in an award‑winning building in Oxford. We host regular events and talks with well‑known guest speakers – all of which are open to staff. On the social side, we have regular coffee/cake mornings for staff, a family‑friendly Halloween event, and Christmas and summer parties.

As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees’ wellbeing and this is reflected in the range of benefits that we offer including:

• An excellent contributory pension scheme
• 38 days’ annual leave
• Family leave schemes and a comprehensive range of childcare services
• Cycle loan scheme and discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans
• Membership to a variety of social and sports clubs
• Opportunities for remote working (typically 60% of working hours on‑site and 40% remotely)

More information about working at the School can be found on our jobs page.

Reporting to Professor Philippa Webb, you will serve as the School’s focal point to Catalyst, a consortium project addressing online misogyny and tech‑facilitated gender‑based violence as pathways to radicalisation and violent extremism that is led by the Christchurch Call Foundation, and to which the School is a contributing entity.

You will work under the supervision of senior faculty and the Events team to deliver the Blavatnik School of Government’s contributions to the project consortium, by supporting the organisation and lead‑up to a series of high‑level policy dialogue events over two days, hosted at the University of Oxford.

This role is part‑time at 40% FTE (15 hours per week) and fixed‑term for 9 months.
