Students enjoy their time with us as evidenced by our excellent NSS scores and we have had considerable investment in equipment for research and teaching.

You will be expected to contribute to the research activities of one of our Research Units and meet the qualitative/ qualitative requirements for submission to the next Research Excellence Framework exercise.

A background in some aspect of ecology and conservation, with supporting qualifications and experience, is essential. We welcome applicants from any area of ecology and conservation, but we are particularly interested in individuals working in ornithology or animal/wildlife conservation who would contribute to new or existing course content on our degrees. 

 To be successful you will further enrich our students’ experience through your expertise and subject knowledge as evidenced through your qualifications and experience. In return, you will join a forward thinking and dynamic team that pushes the boundaries of curriculum development within ecology and conservation.
