Project Manager: State of Carbon Dioxide Removal at University of Oxford, UK

The Project Manager for the State of Carbon Dioxide Removal initiative will play a key role in the team, leading on day-to-day tracking of progress and contributing to strategic direction as the project grows. Working largely online, you will work closely with a leading international team of CDR experts. He/she will also interact with a growing and diversifying group of lead authors, and a specialist team of communicators, editors and graphic designers. While funded initially to produce the Second Edition report, the intention is for this role to continue and grow further in responsibility with the project.

This is an exciting opportunity to be at the heart of the ground-breaking State of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) project that aims at providing reliable, independent and scientific data for tracking and assessing the development of CDR around the world. It is an international collaboration led by experts at the University of Oxford, MCC Berlin, SWP Berlin, the University of Wisconsin and IIASA. The first edition report has received international acclaim and media attention, and is influencing key decision makers in climate action across policy and industry.

The successful candidate needs to support the scientific editors in their overall responsibility for the State of CDR project. We will recruit a person able to ensure the successful and timely delivery of the next phase of the State of CDR work, including the 2nd edition of the report, meetings of the steering committee, and development of a data portal. The successful candidate needs to develop and maintain tools for project management, including a GANTT chart, budget tracker, Google Drive storage system, and any others you identify to assign and deliver tasks, in consultation with the core team.
