About the role

The Julia Anderson Training Programme provides early-career professionals with the opportunity to gain hands‑on experience by contributing to a variety of projects and initiatives led by the Institute of Global Health Innovation (IGHI), supporting their professional development and career progression.

Please read the full eligibility criteria before applying. This programme is designed for individuals with little or no professional experience. To be eligible, applicants must have less than two months' full-time (or part‑time equivalent) experience in health, science, medicine, technology, business management, or any office‑based role. Applicants must also have the right to work in the UK and must not have completed paid or unpaid internships totalling two months or more.

The programme runs from 3 February 2027 to 27 April 2027. These dates are fixed and cannot be changed.

Are you a budding educational researcher or teacher who wants to get involved with the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR)? In this role, you will contribute to the Fleming Initiative’s flagship education project, which aims to teach young people about AMR. You will play a key role in involving teachers in the project and will be able to develop skills in educational research, stakeholder management, and the development of learning materials.

What you would be doing

You will play an important role in bringing the Fleming Education Project’s (FEP) teacher‑focused elements to life, working closely with teachers, the project team and other stakeholders to support the development and delivery of innovative antimicrobial resistance education, and to develop the capacity of teachers to deliver AMR‑focused education.

You will be a key point of contact for teachers involved in the project, building positive relationships and ensuring they have the information and support they need to take part. You will coordinate and track teacher engagement, monitor feedback and survey responses, and help identify emerging issues, ideas and opportunities that can strengthen the project.

Additionally, you will help plan and deliver engaging teacher workshops, taking a lead role in scheduling and communications, as well as general logistics and follow‑up. You will also coordinate our Teacher Advisory Board, organising meetings, preparing agendas, bringing participants together, and ensuring that actions and ideas are captured and shared.

Working alongside the FEP’s CPD Lead, you will contribute to the development of CPD materials for teachers. This will involve exploring the latest evidence, developing your knowledge and understanding of both antimicrobial resistance and educational approaches, developing engaging content, and creating practical resources that will support the training of teachers in effective AMR‑focused education.

You will also have opportunities to contribute directly to the wider FEP, including supporting workshops with schools and young people. Throughout the role, you will provide the practical coordination and project support that helps turn ideas into meaningful educational activities and ensures that teachers have a strong voice in shaping the project.

What we are looking for

We are looking for an organised, motivated and curious individual with an interest in educational research, teacher professional development and/or public health. You will be a confident communicator who enjoys working with people, building relationships with stakeholders, and contributing positively as part of a wider project team. Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities, coordinate activities and work independently will be important.

You do not need previous experience of antimicrobial resistance or educational research, but experience of working with schools or teachers, supporting research projects, organising workshops or events, or developing educational or training materials would be beneficial.

Familiarity with online surveys, research methods or data analysis would also be useful.

Above all, we are looking for someone who is enthusiastic about learning, willing to engage with new ideas, and motivated to contribute to a project that aims to improve education and awareness around antimicrobial resistance. This is an opportunity to develop valuable experience across educational research, stakeholder engagement, programme development and project management, so we are particularly keen to hear from candidates who are excited to learn and develop alongside the project.

What we can offer you

• Make a real, material, contribution to an exciting project – you’ll join the Fleming Education Team and play an active role in supporting a flagship educational intervention designed to improve awareness and understanding of antimicrobial resistance, a pressing global health challenge which will only grow in relevance over the coming years.
• Develop skills that will support your future career – gain hands‑on experience across educational research, stakeholder engagement, survey design and analysis, programme development and project management. You’ll have opportunities to get involved in workshops with teachers, schools and potentially young people, giving you experience you can take into your next role.
• Learn from experts and build your professional network – you’ll receive regular supervision and mentoring, while working alongside colleagues across the Fleming and other institutes within Imperial College. You’ll have the opportunity to develop your understanding of AMR, teacher professional development, and educational intervention design. The Fleming Initiative has already established itself as a world‑leader in efforts to address AMR – the relationships you will build while with us are sure to help you in your future career!
