Research Analyst, Critical Minerals.

Hybrid

UK based

Shaping a circular economy for critical and strategic minerals and materials is one of the most urgent and high-impact levers we have to advance the clean energy transition, secure digital infrastructure, and enable resilient industrial systems. The global economy is undergoing a massive transformation – electrification, digitisation, and decarbonisation are driving exponential demand for critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, and rare earths.
In 2025, the Critical Minerals Mission at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation was launched to accelerate the transition towards a circular economy for critical minerals (CMs) / Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) in the context of decarbonisation across energy (including renewable generation and storage), transport (including electric vehicles, batteries, and charging infrastructure), and industrial processes, as well as the expansion of the digital economy (including electronics, data centres, and related technologies). 

Our commitment to you​:

We are keen to receive applications from people from underrepresented backgrounds, including (but not limited to) those of colour, people with disabilities, people who identify as LGBTQIA+, and people from other marginalised groups. It is important to us that our recruitment approach makes the opportunity as accessible as possible and ensures a diverse range of people can demonstrate their potential. We would be happy to provide any further support that you may require - please get in touch so that we can work together.

If you would like further information on our diversity and inclusion policy or any further assistance, please contact us at recruitment@ellenmacarthurfoundation.org.

Role and Responsibilities:

You will support the Critical Minerals Mission by developing and writing thought leadership and high-quality research outputs, conducting rigorous research and analysis to deepen the Foundation’s knowledge and expertise across critical minerals value chains in the energy and digital transition. In particular, the Mission will focus on the critical minerals (CMs) / Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) in the context of decarbonisation across energy (including renewable generation and storage), transport (including electric vehicles, batteries, and charging infrastructure), and industrial processes, as well as the expansion of the digital economy (including electronics, data centres, and related technologies).

This role facilitates knowledge exchange with stakeholders, including Advisory Board members, and supports the design, preparation, and delivery of in-person and online events that convene the network. Through research, insight generation, primary and secondary analysis, and collaboration, you will contribute to advancing evidence-based solutions and strengthening EMF’s impact and the value we bring to collaborative partnerships.

As an ambitious team with intention for global impact, you will play a crucial role in helping the Critical Minerals Mission to move faster by turning complex information into decision-ready insights, credible external outputs, and stronger partner convenings.

Specifically, your role will involve the following:

• Conduct rigorous primary and secondary research across critical minerals value chains to generate decision-ready insights that support the Foundation’s Critical Minerals Mission and the transition to a circular economy.

• Translate complex evidence into clear, high-quality outputs (e.g., research writing, briefings, reports, case studies, slide decks, and practical tools) tailored to different audiences.

• Plan and support the delivery of workshops and convenings (online and in person), including agenda design, speaker/expert input, pre-reads, facilitation support, and post-event synthesis.

• Provide presentable research inputs to industry collaborations and project workstreams, including sector scanning, stakeholder mapping, and technical/market analysis to inform strategy and delivery.

• Engage confidently with ...

The two shrines to Our Lady are separate and distinct from the benefices yet have considerable impact on the villages and on parish life in this deeply rural setting.

· A fluent Preacher of the Gospel and Teacher of the Faith;

· Keen to work with, and minister to, the Primary School and the younger residents of the Benefice, whilst at the same time valuing older generations in our communities

· Convinced that the all-age growth of each of our churches is nothing less than a Gospel imperative;

· Committed to building further collaboration between the seven churches of the planned Benefice, and to strengthening our relationship with the Anglican Shrine, with the Deanery and with the Diocese

· Prepared to oversee the retired clergy in the Benefice by offering them pastoral care, as well as inviting them to share in his ministry on occasion

· Committed to the further development of the ecumenical links throughout the Benefice;

· A discreet listener, an effective Spiritual Director and experienced Confessor;

· Committed to visiting all his parishioners in health and in sickness, whether at home, in care, or in hospital and to the necessary Celebration of the Sacraments in their presence, especially for those in end-of-life care;

· Willing and able to travel where necessary at all times of the day or night

· Interested in, and has an appreciation of, our mediaeval churches, and their maintenance and improvement

· Prepared to delegate to those willing and able to assist

· Approachable, determined to become involved with the wider communities of the Benefice and possessed of an excellent sense of humour

Assistant Landscape Officer

Company Description

Established as an independent charity in 1992, The Parks Trust expertly cares for over 6,000 acres of beautiful and inspirational green space in Milton Keynes including parks, ancient woodlands, lakes, river valleys and 80 miles of landscaped areas along the city’s grid roads.

In most towns and cities, parkland is owned by the local authority, but Milton Keynes’ founders were pioneers and decided to do things differently. Their vision was to create a new town where the parkland and landscapes would be protected forever by a charity that was separate from local government. Doing so would ensure that, as the new town grew, its green spaces would never be compromised or have to fight for funding.

That all became a reality when The Parks Trust was set up in 1992. The new charity was given a 999-year lease on a total of 4,500 acres of Milton Keynes and an endowment of property valued at £20m. Returns on these carefully managed investments generate the primary source of income required to fund the charity’s wide-ranging work today and forever.

Over 100 staff and 240 volunteers deliver the essential work of The Parks Trust. In addition to landscaping and maintenance tasks, that also includes providing valuable recreation and leisure facilities, connecting communities at over 500 outdoor events each year, and advancing public education around the wildlife, biodiversity, and the environment.

As Milton Keynes grows, so does The Parks Trust. Each year, the charity takes on new green spaces and endowments from developers to cover costs in perpetuity. This approach ensures that all new areas of the city benefit from the same quality of inspiring, connected landscape and Milton Keynes remains a great place to live, work and play.
