The Cambridge Biosecurity Hub (CBH) is a team of researchers investigating the risks associated with rapidly developing biotechnologies. We work on concrete research projects that aim to make progress on either technical or policy issues within biosecurity.
CBH runs multiple 7-week, part-time (5-10 hours a week), semi-remote projects to drive progress on pressing issues and to help individuals test their fit, grow their network, and upskill in biosecurity. Researchers work in small teams, led by a skilled project lead, to conduct impactful research culminating in one or more final deliverables.
Participants will be given access to a communal co-working space (Meridian Office) in the centre of Cambridge which can be used freely throughout the project. Remote applicants are welcome, however, preference will be given to applicants who can engage with the projects in person.
**Deadline: 11:59 pm (BST) on the 19th of January**
The application process will consist of a 30-minute application form and a 30-minute informal chat with your potential project lead. We aim to process all applications within 7-10 business days of submission.
This application is designed for us to learn a little bit about you, your motivations, and your suitability for CBH. We aim to get back to you about your progression to the informal chat within 3 days.
Please do not spend longer than 30-40 minutes completing this form.
The deadline for applying is Friday, 19 January 2024, for the project cycle running 22 January 2024 - 8 March 2024. We’ll process applications on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply early.
Reach out to us at [email protected] if you have any questions or comments.
For the Lent term the project leads for the Cambridge Biosecurity Hub are Josh Blake, Phil Palmer, Richard Moulange, Alexandra Klein and Sandy Hickson.
