Full job description

Postdoctoral Research Associate: Integrating biodiversity into decisions about land and sea management in Europe

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research associate to work with Professor Andrew Balmford in the Conservation Science Group, Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge. This position is part of a 6-country Horizon Europe project and will focus on incorporating a global biodiversity metric called LIFE into LOTUS, a coupled climate-biodiversity-economy tool being assembled to help policymakers make better-informed decisions about land and sea management.

LIFE brings together information on the distribution and habitat preferences of ~30K individually-assessed terrestrial vertebrate species to estimate how specified land-use changes (such as habitat conversion) and their drivers (such as people's diets) alter each species' medium-term probability of extinction. The postholder will be responsible for ensuring the LIFE pipeline is fully integrated into the LOTUS framework. They will also play a key role in the continued development of LIFE ¿ working with colleagues in Cambridge and beyond to incorporate new information on species' sensitivities to farm yields, and to extend LIFE's taxonomic coverage.

They will also help apply the LIFE metric to a series of policy scenarios and regional assessments to test the performance of LOTUS, and refine LIFE based on the results of those exercises. Last, the postholder will help lead the design, development and execution of one of these test cases, based in the UK.

Required skills and qualifications:

PhD in conservation science, land use or a related analytical discipline

Experience in developing or applying quantitative tools for assessing the impacts of management decisions on biodiversity or other environmental outcomes

Strong quantitative and analytical skills, including experience handling and interpreting ecological or environmental datasets

Expertise in landscape-level biodiversity and production analyses using multiple programming languages, for example Python, R, or Bash, and experience in a GIS package or Google Earth Engine

Ability to develop creative, conceptually clear and pragmatic approaches to complex, data-limited analytical problems

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate scientific findings clearly to a range of audiences

Clear evidence of communicating and working collaboratively with other researchers, across multiple disciplines and with project stakeholders

Strong organisational and time management skills

Desirable skills and knowledge:

Experience of using a high-performance computer

Experience of environmental policy in Europe or elsewhere

For more information, please refer to the Further Particulars document.

The closing date for applications is midnight (GMT) on 21 September 2026. The interview for this role is expected to take place during the week commencing Monday 5 October 2026 (subject to change) and may be conducted remotely.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for up to 31 August 2029.

Applications are welcome from internal candidates who would like to apply for the role on the basis of a secondment from their current role in the University.

The postholder will be based in the Cambridge Conservation Initiative¿s David Attenborough Building in Cambridge and will be expected to work on site at least three days per week, except whilst on work-related travel. Flexible working requests (such as part-time) will be considered.

For informal enquiries about the role, please contact Prof Andrew Balmford [email: [email protected]].

For any queries regarding the application process, please contact the Zoology HR Office [email: [email protected]]

Please quote reference PF50726 on your application and in any correspondence about this vacancy.
