The positions will be based in our London, Berlin, New York or Shanghai offices. Please state your preferred location in your application.

Most employees are currently working remotely. Once the offices fully re-open, all employees will be expected to be based in the office, in line with our global work from home policy, which will be discussed during the interview.

To apply, please send:

• Your CV as well as a brief cover letter explaining your interest in the position and indicating salary expectations
• A selection of 5 articles from the recent scientific literature reflecting your views of sustainability research (provide the full reference, and ideally a link to the article; provide a brief rationale for your choice)
