About the job
Job summary
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is the UK government department responsible for improving and protecting the environment, growing the economy, sustain thriving rural communities and support our food, farming, and fishing industries.
The government has set ambitious commitments through the Environment Act, the Net-zero strategy, the food strategy, and the Plan for Water. These commitments will interact with our food system, land-use system, resource and waste flows, rural economies and communities and natural environment. To deliver these commitments our policies need to be coherent with the real-world systems that they affect, and systemic insights are essential for ensuring policy coherence.
Applied systems analysis is in high demand in Defra and we have three exciting opportunities to develop systemic insights in cross cutting and complex areas. You will join the Defra Systems Research Programme (SRP) which was established in 2019 to embed systems research principles in Defra’s policy, evidence, and research activities.
