The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is one of the world’s leading public health universities. Our mission is to improve health and health equity in the UK and worldwide; working in partnership to achieve excellence in public and global health research, education and translation of knowledge into policy and practice.

We are seeking an early career researcher to take up a two-year Postdoctoral Fellowship in Planetary Health, on a scheme run jointly by LSHTM’s Centre on Climate Change and Planetary Health and Stanford University’s Center for Human and Planetary Health. The fellowship will focus on a topic of the Fellow’s own choosing related to planetary health, which aligns with the priorities of both Centres. 

This two-year Fellowship will give the researcher the freedom to pursue novel planetary health research, including topics such as climate change and the implications of land use change, environmental degradation and destruction, and the evaluation of policies and measures to assess these risks. Priority will be given to applications focusing on planetary health solutions (adaptation, mitigation or both). 

The post-holder must have a postgraduate degree, ideally a doctoral degree, in a relevant topic along with relevant experience in planetary health research. Further particulars are included in the job description. 

The post is full-time, 35 hours per week, 1.0 FTE and fixed-term from January 2026 until December 2027. The post is funded by the Peter Piot Fellowship Fund and the Centre for Climate Change and Planetary Health.

The salary will be on the LSHTM salary scale, Grade 6 in the range £45,097-£48,909 per annum (inclusive of London Weighting). The post will be subject to the LSHTM terms and conditions of service.  Annual leave entitlement is 30 working days per year, pro rata for part-time staff. In addition to this there are discretionary “Wellbeing Days”. Membership of the Pension Scheme is available. The post is based in London at LSHTM.

Space Sector Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Tools, Technologies & Platforms to Learn Now

From launch vehicles and CubeSats to space-based communications, climate monitoring, and lunar exploration—UK space jobs are entering a bold new era. With government investment, private capital, and ESA partnerships driving growth, demand is surging for professionals with the right skills to build and sustain this expanding space economy. Welcome to the Space Sector Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the engineering tools, simulation platforms, programming languages and mission technologies that UK employers are prioritising. Whether you're an aerospace graduate, software engineer, or systems integrator, this radar helps you target the future of UK space careers.

How to Find Hidden Space Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like the RAeS, UKSpace & More

The UK space sector is enjoying rapid growth—driven by satellite constellations, launch services, Earth observation, space science, and defence applications. But while demand for engineers, scientists, mission designers, and space analysts is high, many of the most compelling roles are never advertised publicly. Instead, these opportunities are often filled through professional networks, working groups, innovation clusters, and academic-industry partnerships. This guide will show you how to access hidden UK space jobs by engaging with bodies like the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), UKSpace, British Interplanetary Society (BIS), and regional space clusters. By leveraging membership directories, special-interest groups (SIGs), CPD events, and funded projects, you can position yourself to be first in line—even before roles are posted.

How to Get a Better Space Sector Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant from a role in the UK space sector can be disheartening. Whether your work was tied to satellite design, launch services, ground systems, mission operations, or Earth observation analytics, the experience and specialist knowledge you've gained is still highly valuable. The UK government’s Space Strategy, increased commercial investment, and new launch initiatives across Cornwall, Scotland, and Wales continue to drive opportunities in upstream and downstream space technologies. This guide will help you relaunch your career in the UK space sector after redundancy.
