POLYGEIA IS RECRUITING!

If you fancy working within the Oxford branch of a student-led global health think tank...
If you want to work along side organisations such as MSF, Simprints, Lepra and Medopad, as well as people like MPs and Global Health researchers...
If you fancy doing some policy research over the summer vac..... THEN POLYGEIA IS FOR YOU!

We are a student-led global health think tank, giving students from top universities the opportunity to engage in research and policy making.

We are looking to recruit student volunteers to work as researchers and editors within the organisation for this calendar year. Researchers will form the majority of the project teams, with the position being open to anyone in Oxford with an interest in public health. Editors will each lead a project, and would preferably be postgraduate students or undergraduates with research experience. This will entail working on a research project from March to October, with the bulk of the research completed over the summer.

Projects can be commissioned or internally generated, with topics including migrant health, mental health, neglected tropical diseases, obesity and diabetes. To date, we have produced successful reports for both governmental and charitable organisations, with some of our work being published in peer reviewed journals. This year, we are excited to be working with organisations such as MSF, Simprints, Lepra and Medopad.

Researcher and editor positions for our 2018 projects are NOW OPEN on our website (http://www.polygeia.com). Our teams will receive a range of training from policy writing to project management, work together on a research paper, and present at our annual conference.

We welcome applications from all academic disciplines, which puts us at the forefront of shaping policy in healthcare. The deadline for applications is Friday 26th January. Interviews will then be held between Saturday 27th January and Saturday 3rd February.
