Knowledge Exchange Research Associate in collaboration with UK/Hong Kong teams (Fixed Term)

We are pleased to offer a 10-month Knowledge-Exchange Research Associate position to work on the final stages of an ambitious three-site cross-cultural study of children's school readiness safely. 

This post will be based in Hong Kong and run from as soon as possible after the interview to July 31st 2025. We are offering this as a FT post, but welcome applications from candidates who'd prefer a PT role (60%+).

As the post is based in Hong Kong, fluency in local Chinese is essential.  The successful candidate will also have excellent spoken and written English. A key responsibility for the role is to raise the visibility and impact of a WEMP Foundation funded University of Cambridge study of Hong Kong children's school readiness.  The role will be focused but varied, including (but not be limited to) helping to translate a book for teachers, producing briefing reports for policymakers, and making short educational videos for parents.

As an exemplary communicator and coordinator, your mission is to inspire teachers, policymakers, families, and build relationships between these groups with a view to transforming early years education in Hong Kong. Previous experience in teaching, science-communication, or marketing would therefore also be useful. You will operate as part of a team and work collaboratively with both the WEMP Foundation and the University of Cambridge HK Ready or Not team. 

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available until 31 July 2025 in the first instance.
