Associate Director for Policy Fellowships

Charlotte began her postdoctoral career as a researcher in health and public policy, leading the Nuffield Trust's flagship Policy Futures for UK Health Policy programme. Following a career break, Charlotte has spent the latter part of her career helping build programmes that strengthen links between research and public policy.

She coordinated the university's Public Policy Strategic Research Initiative which led to the establishment of the Bennett Institute for Public Policy at Cambridge so that public policy research and teaching are now an integral part of the Cambridge landscape. She led the social science impact submission at the university for REF2021, working with researchers to understand, navigate and evidence their impact.

Originally brought in to provide strategic research direction, she oversaw the impact and engagement programme for ESRC's £55 million portfolio of covid awards, made during the pandemic.

She returned to the university to join CSaP in 2022 as Associate Director for Policy Fellowships, leading its Policy Fellowships programme. As a researcher, Charlotte has published on public policy theory and practice, senior organisational roles in the public sector and health care organisations.
