Are you an early career scientist, looking to gain experience working on real-world conservation issues within a supportive and internationally recognised team of interdisciplinary researchers?
WWT's Wetland Evidence department are looking to recruit an early career scientist to support our work on urban wetlands. Based in the Ecosystem Health and Social Dimensions team, the successful candidate will play a key role in helping WWT to deliver evidence on the barriers and enablers of urban areas achieving Ramsar Wetland City status, a globally recognised accreditation. The role will focus on finding, extracting, and summarizing relevant data that will allow us to understand the experiences of Wetland Cities worldwide. This will include identifying common challenges, enabling factors and outcomes, what makes Wetland City initiatives successful, and how accreditation can translate into meaningful benefits for nature and people.
This role will enable an early career scientist to gain and develop fundamental research skills in searching, identifying, extracting and summarizing scientific data.
This is a full-time position, working 37.5 hours per week, for a fixed period until 30th May 2027. The role is suitable for hybrid working, with up to 1 day per week required at Slimbridge Wetland Centre.
