About The Role

Are you an early career scientist, looking to gain experience working in a range of wetland habitats within a supportive and internationally recognised team of wetland experts?

WWT's Wetland Evidence department are looking to recruit an early career scientist to support our expanding programme of ecological monitoring. Sitting in the Wetland BioScience team the successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop field skills covering a range of taxa including pollinating insects, saltmarsh vegetation, aerial insectivores (bats and birds) and aquatic invertebrates. The role will also involve desk based data collation and management as well as the opportunity to get involved in analysis and reporting tasks.

The role will centre on field-based survey work across a range of sites, primarily in the South West but also nationally so a willingness to travel and a driving licence are therefore essential.

This is a full-time position, working 37.5 hours per week, for a fixed period until 30th March 2028. During the fieldwork season, this position will require working on some weekends and bank holidays and working outside of normal hours. Considerable flexibility will be required during the fieldwork season.

About You

The successful candidate will
  • have a background in ecology and an interest in wetland species and habitats
  • have a desire to develop cross-taxa field skills and desk based data management experience
  • be proactive and engaged across multiple projects and tasks
  • have the ability to bring a creative approach to problem solving, finding practical solutions
  • be able to conduct fieldwork independently, managing own time efficiently whilst following health & safety regulation
  • be willing to travel (within the UK) and have a driving licence
  • have good interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate with a wide range of audiences and members of public and maintain effective relationships with colleagues and partners.

Please view the full job description for all the responsibilities and specifications for the role.
