💼 CCS President and Vice-President Applications
The Cambridge Climate Society is recruiting its next President, Vice-President or co-Presidents for the 2025-2026 academic year, and we think it could be you! This is an incredible opportunity to lead one of Cambridge’s largest and fastest growing societies and have a tangible impact across the university!
The application form is HERE. We’d like to stress that applications from anyone and everyone are welcome for this role! Being on committee for the previous year is not a prerequisite. Applications are welcome from any degree course (undergrad & postgrad) with an interest in climate. The only requirements are a deep commitment to the climate crisis, great organisational skills, and willingness to own the full responsibility of the role.
The deadline is Monday March 24th 11:59pm.
Please note: only applications for President are currently open - this is so that the successful applicant(s) can participate in the recruitment process for next year’s committee. We will open applications for the rest of committee later next term. The role officially starts towards the end of Easter but applications are open now to gradually ease you in!
