*Job opportunity at the EGU Executive Office: **Science Policy Fellow*

The EGU (http://www.egu.eu/) is a non-profit geosciences organisation
dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in the Earth, planetary, and space
sciences. The Union has more than 11,000 members and organises a General
Assembly that attracts over 12,000 scientists each year as well as a number
of thematic meetings, and education and outreach activities. It publishes a
diverse portfolio of 16 scientific journals that use an innovative
open-access format.

EGU Fellowships offer young scientists the opportunity to gain experience
in science management and communication in a large scientific union through
a targeted assignment at the EGU Executive Office in Munich, Germany.
Fellows are strategically deployed to develop new initiatives and
capabilities for long-term use by the EGU. Fellowships last one year and
are subject to a probation period of six months.

In 2015, we intend to appoint a fellow to develop the Union’s science
policy programme, which is aimed at building bridges between geoscientists

and informing decision makers about the Earth, planetary and space
sciences. The fellow will be tasked with mapping out policy opportunities
for the EGU, setting up a pairing scheme between EGU researchers and
members of the European Parliament, writing information briefings, and
developing training and networking events for scientists to engage with
policy making.

The successful applicant will have a postgraduate degree (e.g. MA, MSc,
PhD), preferably in geosciences, experience in communicating with
policymakers, and knowledge of policymaking at the European level.
Candidates should have an expert command of English, excellent
interpersonal and organisational skills and must be able to work
independently and as part of a team.

The fellow will be based at the EGU Executive Office in Munich, Germany
(with short stays in Brussels), and will work under the direction of the
EGU Media and Communications Manager, the EGU Executive Secretary and the
EGU Policy Working Group starting in June 2015. Remuneration is according
to the German public service pay scale and can be up to E13 TV-L, depending
on expertise and experience.

*Application materials*
