King's Climate & Sustainability Team is advertising for an Admin Assistant to support King’s at COP29. King’s College London is officially admitted as a non-governmental organisation (NGO) Observer to COP negotiations and is eligible to nominate delegates to attend the Intersessional meetings and COPs. King’s Climate & Sustainability Team coordinate the process for the whole university.
The main responsibility will be to provide administrative support for the selection and pre-event training of the King’s delegation. Tasks will include:
- collate applications and prepare papers for the Selection Panel
- coordinate and send out applicant responses – unsuccessful and successful
- manage and maintain communication with nominees
- manage information and registrations on the UN registration system, including keeping up to date with new information about COP29 as it becomes available, updating nominees, inputting and submitting nominee information
- organise agenda and contribute to development of materials for pre-event training
This work will give the opportunity to put into practice / develop further knowledge on the background, structure and processes of the COP negotiations and the role research plays, and to build professional networks with others across the university working in climate related research. It will also provide the opportunity to deliver key sessions in the pre-event training about UN and COP processes.
The contract is for around 50 hours of work between July and November. We expect there to be busier periods of 4-5 hours a week between 8 July and 5 August and in the lead-up to COP in late Oct/Nov, when the role holder must be available, but in the quieter periods we expect there to be around 1-2 hours a week of work.
It is likely to be particularly suitable for a PhD student studying a climate-related discipline.
Please apply by 10am on Thursday 27 June.
