We are seeking an enthusiastic and innovative Applied Biodiversity Scientist to join our Biodiversity Monitoring & Analysis group . Working within interdisciplinary teams, you will collaborate with colleagues across UKCEH and external partners to improve understanding of biodiversity change and the factors driving it.

Strong interpersonal skills, including experience of work ing collaboratively, reflect ing on feedback, and adapt ing working styles to different team and stakeholder contexts.

Good time management for delivery of personal work across a portfolio of projects.

Professional self ‑ awareness , including recognising when to seek input, challenge assumptions, or adjust approaches.

Excellent written and oral communication skills, demonstrated across a range of audiences.

UKCEH is committed to supporting professional development, and we welcome applicants without fieldwork experience, providing opportunities to develop the necessary skills within the role.
