Full job description

Salary - £31,942 to £33,898
Office Based (with Fieldwork)
Permanent
We reserve the right to close this advert early if we find the right candidate, so we encourage you to apply early.

We’re looking for a Biodiversity Monitoring Scientist to join our Biodiversity & Land Use Group based in Wallingford. As part of a small, collaborative and multidisciplinary group of Ecologists, Data Scientists and Engineers, you’ll play a key role in collecting, analysing and communicating evidence that informs conservation and management decisions. You’ll also contribute to a diverse portfolio of projects monitoring biodiversity across the UK and internationally.

This is a role where you can make a real impact - combining fieldwork with analytical and research responsibilities. While much of your time will be office-based, you’ll head out into the field a couple of times each month, visiting sites mainly across the South of England to deploy and maintain cutting-edge biodiversity monitoring technologies.

You’ll turn data into meaningful insight, shaping how biodiversity is understood and managed, and share your findings with a wide range of stakeholders - from farmers and landowners to NGOs and government bodies such as DEFRA, JNCC and Natural England. You’ll also have the opportunity to collaborate with an EU Working Group and contribute to an international network of scientists developing the next generation of biodiversity monitoring tools.

Your main responsibilities will include:

Planning, coordinating, and undertaking UK-based fieldwork across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems

Building and maintaining effective relationships with key stakeholders (e.g. farmers and landowners)

Supporting the operation and maintenance of a national network of biodiversity monitoring systems

Processing, analysing, and interpreting large datasets using R to generate robust insights

Contributing to the preparation and publication of scientific articles and literature reviews

Supporting project management activities such as event and travel administration, budget monitoring and raising purchase orders

This position offers exceptional opportunities for professional growth, and if you’re motivated by seeing your work influence real-world decisions, this role offers a unique blend of science, collaboration and impact. You’ll benefit from national and international collaboration, gain valuable field experience, and have the chance to develop your own research aligned with our global biodiversity monitoring programmes. It’s an ideal opportunity for an early-career scientist looking for a well-rounded, impactful role.

For the role of Biodiversity Monitoring Scientist , we’re looking for somebody who has:

Holds a degree or has equivalent experience in a relevant field (e.g. MSc in biosciences), supported by demonstrable practical experience

Comfortable working with large datasets and experienced in data analysis using R

Able to work effectively as part of an interdisciplinary team, with a flexible and collaborative research approach

Possesses strong project administration skills, including event and travel coordination, budget monitoring, and raising purchase orders

Demonstrates excellent written and verbal communication skills

Well-organised with strong time management skills, and able to work independently to meet deadlines

Holds a full UK manual driving licence

Desirable:

Experience with biodiversity monitoring technologies (e.g. camera-based or acoustic systems)
