If you are interested in this position, but salary or location is a barrier to you applying, please get in touch with our team to discuss as we may be able to offer some flexibility based on individual circumstances. Application form: Apply Here Deadline: 18 January 2026 at 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE) For any questions, please send an email to: About CLTR The Centre for Long-Term Resilience (CLTR) is a UK-based, non-profit and independent think tank with a mission to transform global resilience to extreme risks. We achieve this by working with governments and institutions, offering targeted, evidence-based advice designed to enhance understanding, decision-making and governance - with a particular emphasis on advising the UK government. At CLTR, we focus on three prioritised policy areas that, when addressed effectively, can substantially reduce both present and prospective catastrophic threats: i) biosecurity, ii) artificial intelligence, and iii) improving how governments manage extreme risks. You would join a passionate and committed team with diverse experiences spanning academia, healthcare, government, non-profit organisations, and the private sector. We place immense value on our work and on fostering a positive team culture that supports staff wellbeing and growth. CLTR's approach is anchored in our three core values: i) integrity, ii) people first, and iii) targeted real-world impact. Biosecurity Policy at CLTR Our Biosecurity Policy Unit works to develop, evaluate and advocate for impactful policy recommendations to mitigate extreme biological risks-events whose impacts would be worse than the COVID-19 pandemic or even threaten human extinction. We work in a dynamic environment, responding swiftly to policy shifts and government initiatives, while also ensuring time is reserved for gap analyses and in-depth research on critical biosecurity issues. While we primarily focus on government policy, our work is often highly technical in nature. We apply a rigorous approach to project prioritisation to ensure we are working on the highest-value opportunities with the greatest potential for real-world impact. The bigger the risk, the greater weight we place on mitigating it. All else being equal, we focus on the biological risks that have the greatest harm. At CLTR, we concentrate on extreme biological risks arising from: Pandemics, whether natural, accidental or deliberate in origin; Emerging technologies, including those at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and synthetic biology; and The development and use of biological weapons by state and non-state actors. Some of our recent work includes: Delivering a Cost-Benefit Analysis of Synthetic Nucleic Acid Screening for the UK; Publishing a Global Risk Index for AI-enabled Biological Tools ; Providing written and oral expert testimony to the UK Public Services Committee Call for Evidence on Medicines Security; and Engaging in key public and private dialogues on priority biosecurity topics with government and international organisations.
