Researcher, Wetland BioScience

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.
