3 weeks ago

Canterbury, Kent, United Kingdom University of Kent Full time

The Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) seeks to appoint three ambitious and highly motivated Innovation Fellows in Conservation Science to join an exciting new 5-year research programme focusing on area-based conservation. In this role you will develop and implement innovative approaches for creating, monitoring and funding conservation area and nature recovery networks, providing guidance and advice for local and national governments, environmental NGOs and the private sector. You will also work with colleagues to bid for and deliver consultancy tenders. You will have a strong research profile and background in either (a) biodiversity metrics and monitoring, (b) spatial planning for conservation and connectivity, or (c) environmental/ecological economics. Your profile will demonstrate your commitment to conservation impact, your ability to work in a team and meet project deadlines, and a willingness to work with stakeholders and mainstream research.

As an Innovation Fellow you can expect to be involved with the following:

  • responsible for implementing the innovation component of the E3 'Sharing Space for Nature' initiative, working on short- and long-term consultancy projects that use the latest research to meet the needs of a range of businesses and organisations
  • collaborate with all DICE members to develop new, interdisciplinary approaches and publish them in the scientific literature
  • bid for and complete innovation contracts for a range of different conservation, restoration and environment related organisations
  • publish state-of-the-art research, in collaboration with DICE colleagues, project partners and postgraduate students, which identifies research gaps and outlines new methods and approaches for mainstreaming E3 research

What you will bring to the role:

  • PhD (or equivalent) in conservation science or a relevant subject
  • Strong track record of research publications relevant to biodiversity conservation, as evidenced by citation record (e.g. in Web of Knowledge or Scopus), commensurate with the number of years since PhD completion
  • Specialist knowledge of, and research experience in, a field relevant to biodiversity metrics and monitoring, spatial planning for conservation and connectivity, or environmental/ecological economics

What we can offer in return:

As a member of our team, you can expect a friendly, open and collaborative working environment and support in your development and wellbeing. You'll enjoy a range of great staff benefits including:

  • hybrid working options allowing a flexible blend of office and home working (to be agreed in line with business needs)
  • 43 days' leave per year (personal leave, bank holidays and additional days allocated for the Christmas period, pro rata for part-time staff)
  • excellent pension scheme with generous employer contributions
  • corporate employee-funded healthcare plan, in partnership with Benenden Health
  • retailer and wellbeing discounts via Edenred
  • on campus cinema/theatre, sports facilities, library, nursery (Canterbury) and food outlets
  • study while you work discounts, cycle to work scheme, local business discounts
  • support in your development and wellbeing at all stages of employment, including an Employee Assistance Programme
