Melting Metropolis Community Engagement Manager

We are seeking an experienced and creative community engagement specialist to lead the successful delivery of the community engagement strategy of a new, five-year international research project at the University of Liverpool (UoL). You will support the project team in delivering the Wellcome Trust-funded project `Melting Metropolis: Everyday Histories of Health and Heat in London, New York, and Paris since 1945¿. We are looking for a Community Engagement Manager who can build and strengthen relationships with communities in specific districts of London, Paris, and New York. While the role will largely involve remote working, it does require relatively easy access to London where the majority of community engagement activities will take place.

Leading on community co-design and coproduction, this is a great opportunity for a highly creative and motivated Community Engagement Manager to develop new ways of narrating, visualising, and understanding the changing fabric of urban life in an age of climate breakdown. The project aims to highlight the multi-dimensional experiences of urban heat and health, while recognising that, as in other instances of environmental justice, historical experiences and inequalities need to be addressed to pave the way for more equitable health outcomes. You will require excellent communication and interpersonal skills and a strong commitment to the principles and practice of equality, diversity and inclusion. You will have a degree (or equivalent qualification or relevant professional experience).
