Full job description

Spatial Research and Modelling Officer

In the UK and globally, the value of biodiversity is increasingly important in human lives and livelihoods. RBG Kew’s scientific mission as a world-leading biodiversity institute is to stop biodiversity loss and develop nature-based solutions to societal challenges (NbS, of which restoration is a component) through its Science Strategy https://www.kew.org/sites/default/files/2026-07/17364-Science-Strategy-2026_15.pdf and Manifesto for Change https://www.kew.org/about-us/press-media/manifesto-for-change-2021. We undertake research on the development and delivery of NbS primarily through our Ecosystems and Conservation Science Department and our Millennium Seed Bank. Both entities are strongly engaged with the development of Kew REACH (Restoration, Enhancement, Adaptation and Creation of Habitats), a joint venture between the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (RBG Kew) and Greensphere Capital’s Gaia Sciences Innovation (GSI) Platform.

Kew REACH’s mission is to be the world’s pre-eminent, science-led, high-trust, habitat consulting firm, powered by RBG Kew’s unparalleled scientific reputation, integrity, and expertise. Kew REACH will provide trusted scientific credentials, transparency, data, and accountability at scale in a market where these qualities are lacking, open to misinterpretation and even exploitation by industry and governments leading, in turn, to poor investment decisions, reputational risk and lack of meaningful action to protect the planet. It will also aim to maximise Kew’s impact from its work on NbS, with its research informing the science-led approach. Kew REACH draws on Kew’s expertise to advise on and help implement a wide range of outcomes to clients in urban, agricultural, forestry and conservation landscapes including provision of assessment, high-resolution measurement, capability building, enhancement and restoration planning, implementation, resilience modelling and evaluation. The role advertised here will contribute to the missions of RBG, Kew and Kew REACH through undertaking research and consultancy on the science and practice of restoration, spatial analysis and modelling-based research respectively.
