<h1 dir="ltr">Summary</h1>
Deadline to apply: Sunday 12 May 2024 (23:59 London time)
Description: We are looking for a passionate and skilled writer to join our team on a permanent basis. The ideal candidate will bring excellent writing skills for a general audience, arguments and narratives built around trusted data, and an ability to drive a clear and exciting agenda in their area of work. This role offers the opportunity to work within a dynamic and supportive team environment, focusing on writing that reaches a wide, influential audience.
Contract type: Full-time, flexible hours.
Compensation: £55,000 to £65,000 per year for candidates living in the UK (approximately $69,000–$81,000). For international candidates, rates are adjusted. Candidates with exceptional experience may be considered for more senior positions.
Location: Our offices are in Oxford, United Kingdom, but many people in our team work remotely. We welcome applications from international candidates, though working hours should partly overlap with core UK working hours to facilitate effective collaboration with our team.

<h1 dir="ltr">About this role</h1>
Joining Our World in Data as a writer is a fantastic opportunity for someone passionate about making complex global issues understandable and relevant to a broad audience. This role is central to our mission of presenting research and data to improve the public's understanding and awareness of the world’s largest problems and their possible solutions.
We are looking for candidates who are comfortable writing about a range of the issues we cover at Our World in Data. You could focus on poverty and inequality, health, demography, or any of the <a href="https://ourworldindata.org/#all-topics" target="_blank">other topics we cover</a>. The ideal candidate has core expertise on some of our topics but can write on a range of topics beyond their core expertise. We welcome applications from writers of any background that links to these areas.
Joining Our World in Data gives a writer a platform to explain some of the world’s most pressing problems to a large and influential global audience. Our pages have been viewed 800 million times in the last 5 years, from every country in the world. Our users include journalists, policymakers, academics, teachers, and many others. Our articles and charts are cited thousands of times per year in major academic journals and some of the largest media publications in the world, including The Economist, BBC, New York Times, Washington Post, The Guardian, and many non-English media outlets. Policymakers and investors often rely on our work in decision-making.
This position is, in essence, a cross-over between research and journalism. Our writers have several goals in their work: they strive to write articles that stay relevant for a long period of time, by relying on data that gets regularly updated by our data team. Secondly, they work with data scientists to build up-to-date interactive visualizations that users can explore for themselves.
To thrive in this role, you’ll need to be an excellent writer and have good quantitative skills; you’ll need to understand complex research, be able to interpret large global datasets on a broad range of topics, and find a way to communicate these findings to a general audience clearly. Overcoming the “curse of knowledge” — ensuring that our data and research are accessible and engaging to those without existing knowledge of the topic — is crucial. Concepts need to be explained clearly to non-experts, avoiding jargon.
One of the most appealing aspects of this role is the opportunity to concentrate on your writing. Most research or journalist roles require you to dedicate much of your time to work other than writing — it requires you to dedicate time to administrative tasks, funding applications, data cleaning, or the promotion of the work. We’ve built a talented team of data scientists, designers, software engineers, product managers, and communications specialists who handle all these things to support the work of others. As a writer, you can dedicate your energy and creativity to what you do best: writing.

At the University of California, Berkeley, we are committed to creating a community that fosters equity of experience and opportunity, and ensures that students, faculty, and staff of all backgrounds feel safe, welcome and included. Our culture of openness, freedom and belonging make it a special place for students, faculty and staff.
The University of California, Berkeley, is one of the world's leading institutions of higher education, distinguished by its combination of internationally recognized academic and research excellence; the transformative opportunity it provides to a large and diverse student body; its public mission and commitment to equity and social justice; and its roots in the California experience, animated by such values as innovation, questioning the status quo, and respect for the environment and nature. Since its founding in 1868, Berkeley has fueled a perpetual renaissance, generating unparalleled intellectual, economic and social value in California, the United States and the world.
We are looking for equity-minded applicants who represent the full diversity of California and who demonstrate a sensitivity to and understanding of the diverse academic, socioeconomic, cultural, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, and ethnic backgrounds present in our community. When you join the team at Berkeley, you can expect to be part of an inclusive, innovative and equity-focused community that approaches higher education as a matter of social justice that requires broad collaboration among faculty, staff, students and community partners. In deciding whether to apply for a position at Berkeley, you are strongly encouraged to consider whether your values align with our <a href="https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=5184681&amp;targetURL=https://chancellor.berkeley.edu/guiding-values-and-principles" target="_blank">Guiding Values and Principles</a>, our <a href="https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=5184681&amp;targetURL=https://diversity.berkeley.edu/principles-community" target="_blank">Principles of Community</a>, and <a href="https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=5184681&amp;targetURL=https://strategicplan.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank">our Strategic Plan</a><a href="https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=5184681&amp;targetURL=https://strategicplan.berkeley.edu" target="_blank">.</a>
At UC Berkeley, we believe that learning is a fundamental part of working, and our goal is for everyone on the Berkeley campus to feel supported and equipped to realize their full potential. We actively support this by providing all of our staff employees with at least 80 hours (10 days) of paid time per year to engage in professional development activities.

 Departmental Overview 
The Berkeley Institute for Data Science (BIDS - <a href="https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=5184681&amp;targetURL=https://bids.berkeley.edu" target="_blank">https://bids.berkeley.edu</a>) was founded in 2013 to build on Berkeley's strength in data science with a multidisciplinary emphasis. BIDS aims to facilitate and enhance the development and application of cutting-edge data science techniques in the biological, physical, social and engineering sciences. Today, BIDS is part of the new College of Computing, Data Science and Society (CDSS), where it serves as a hub for interdisciplinary research, tool development, and exchange of ideas between methodologies in computing, statistics and AI. BIDS connects with domain experts from across the entire disciplinary spectrum on campus, and hosts collaborations with local and national partners, including Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and NASA in the unique intellectual ecosystem of Berkeley. 
As CDSS further advances UC Berkeley's eminence in Data Science research and education, BIDS is entering a new era. It will serve as a central hub connecting scholars on campus, as well as reaching out to other Berkeley institutions including LBNL, the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute, the Space Sciences Laboratory, the International Computer Science Institute, and the SkyDeck Startup Incubator. BIDS' expertise in open source tool development and open science makes it an ideal place to be a home for communities of practice around open knowledge, at a time when both open source software is becoming the norm for research computing, and when open science ideas become part of national science policies across multiple agencies. From this perspective, BIDS will help scholars from different fields to find shared needs, interests and ideas and build new collaborations. 
BIDS also aims to foster conversations regarding the role of Science and Society in the development of new tools and systems for AI. As a discipline-neutral environment, it will provide open space for emerging work ranging from the representation of scientific knowledge in AI models and the use of AI as a scientific instrument, to explorations with social scientists and humanists of questions at the intersection of the human experience, our social context and the role of AI in our lives.
The Executive Director will take a leadership role in managing and developing the Institute's research programs and representing these programs to outside organizations. Under the direction of the BIDS faculty director, the ED will develop the vision and corresponding agenda to achieve the Institute's objectives. The incumbent will oversee all elements of program administration, facilitate collaborations among multiple research groups from across the campus as well as with partner organizations, and provide leadership in identifying outreach services. The Executive Director will work under the direction of the Institute's academic leadership to formulate strategic goals and objectives, direct long-term planning, and develop policies and procedures, and raise funding from external sources. This individual will be considered a subject matter expert on campus and is recognized as an expert externally in the field.
All applicants are strongly encouraged to visit the BIDS website for a detailed description of various initiatives and programs, and to read the BIDS faculty director's vision for the coming years: <a href="https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=5184681&amp;targetURL=https://bit.ly/bids24-director-vision" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/bids24-director-vision</a>.
