Collated Conservation Jobs
Conservation Careers

# data[].attributes.body
Twitter is a surprisingly good place to find job adverts. Some feeds collate opportunities within a particular field, others advertise positions for their own organisation, and increasingly research groups are advertising PhDs and post-docs via Twitter. Below are some recommendations for feeds to follow.

Firstly, you need to follow @HullUniCareers who will keep you updated on employability opportunities across a broad range of topics and cover more general careers.

Employers
This list would be too large to list every feed. Use your initiative here, if you want to work in conservation you need to follow the big employers in this field whether that be national (e.g. @Natures_Voice) or international (e.g. @IUCN). Make sure you consider governmental organisations, NGOs, charities and private companies. Think about who you might like to work for and search for them on twitter, then look to see who they follow and check them out! You can find a comprehensive but not complete list of potential employers here.

Some useful examples:
Applied laboratory biology: @CovanceCareers
Conservation: @WildlifeTrusts
Environmental science: @EnvAgency
Fisheries: @CefasGovUK
Marine: @The_MMO

Learned Societies
Each of your subject groups has one or multiple societies consisting of academic and/or professional bodies. These societies are often 'the' place for careers advice in that specific field. Learned societies can also: run careers/networking events, summer schools, internships, and fund studentships. I would generally advise being a member of at least one society that relates to your specialism as it increases your access to their resources and looks good on the CV. Some societies have separate twitter handles for careers (@BES_careers), but following the society on twitter will help you keep up-to-date with anything going.
You can find a comprehensive but not complete list of professional bodies here.

Careers Feeds
There are a number of twitter feeds that focus on providing a constant stream of jobs available. These often have the benefit of being collated from a broad variety of sources, provide national and international opportunities, and are focused on particular careers or industries.

Marine Conservation Society - Chemicals Specialist: Policy & Advocacy (South East)

# data[].attributes.body

The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) is at the heart of the movement to protect and restore our seas. We are the UK’s leading marine charity and we have played a central role in bringing about the current focus on marine plastics. We are determined to drive that momentum - ensuring that our actions create changes that will protect the future of our planet.

You will be working within the policy and advocacy team, focusing on the chemical challenges within the marine environment and relating to wider issues such as plastics and water quality.

We need someone who can understand and interpret technical information on chemical pollutants and utilise your advocacy skills to influence attitudes and legislation, whether that is to government, businesses or contributing to campaigns that galvanise public actions as we work to make the reduction of pollution at source an imperative.

We’ve had huge success on water quality and plastics and we are looking to expand our work on chemicals. You’ll be the principal specialist and experienced in the development and delivery of our policy, being proactive and resourceful with the drive to maintain a robust evidence base on the state of UK waters and stakeholder perceptions in relation to pollutants of concern.

Sharing a passion for our causes, you’ll be a confident ambassador to represent us in radio/TV interviews, or at events with senior stakeholders from industry or our partner organisations.

This role requires confidence in your knowledge, and persuasive communication skills, to work collaboratively with colleagues who share your commitment to our objectives.

Key Skills

Specialist knowledge on chemical pollutants, interaction and impact on the environment, human health, fisheries and wildlife.

Understanding of relevant UK, European and international regulations for pollutants

Ability to write detailed and technical response to consultations

Competent research skills, with evidence of data handling and the ability to critically analyse information

A track record of taking complex issues (ideally in policy but other backgrounds welcome) and developing compelling messages for non-technical audiences

Demonstrable negotiating and influencing skills in written and verbal communications

Experienced in confidently representing the organisation to potential and existing stakeholders, in national and international meetings

Able to work collaboratively and proactively with other teams

Resilience and tenacity, recognising that big changes come with incremental steps

Some feeds collate opportunities within a particular field, others advertise positions for their own organisation, and increasingly research groups are advertising PhDs and post-docs via Twitter. Below are some recommendations for feeds to follow.

Firstly, you need to follow @HullUniCareers who will keep you updated on employability opportunities across a broad range of topics and cover more general careers.

Employers
This list would be too large to list every feed. Use your initiative here, if you want to work in conservation you need to follow the big employers in this field whether that be national (e.g. @Natures_Voice) or international (e.g. @IUCN). Make sure you consider governmental organisations, NGOs, charities and private companies. Think about who you might like to work for and search for them on twitter, then look to see who they follow and check them out! You can find a comprehensive but not complete list of potential employers here.

Some useful examples:
Applied laboratory biology: @CovanceCareers
Conservation: @WildlifeTrusts
Environmental science: @EnvAgency
Fisheries: @CefasGovUK
Marine: @The_MMO

Learned Societies
Each of your subject groups has one or multiple societies consisting of academic and/or professional bodies. These societies are often 'the' place for careers advice in that specific field. Learned societies can also: run careers/networking events, summer schools, internships, and fund studentships. I would generally advise being a member of at least one society that relates to your specialism as it increases your access to their resources and looks good on the CV. Some societies have separate twitter handles for careers (@BES_careers), but following the society on twitter will help you keep up-to-date with anything going.
You can find a comprehensive but not complete list of professional bodies here.

Careers Feeds
There are a number of twitter feeds that focus on providing a constant stream of jobs available. These often have the benefit of being collated from a broad variety of sources, provide national and international opportunities, and are focused on particular careers or industries.

Conservation: @ConservCareers

As part of the Faculty of Science and Engineering Careers Week come and join Chris Speight (Principle Consultant - Environmental Claims Management) and Laura McNally (Sustainable Business Partner - Environment Agency) to hear about their career journeys within the Environmental sector.

This is a great opportunity for Geography or Biology students to gain a better understanding of the options available and how you can build a career in environmental roles.

Having completed a BSc (J.Hons) in Geography and Geology at the University of Leeds and an MSc at the University of Manchester in Environmental Monitoring, Modelling & Reconstruction, Chris began working in the Environmental Consultancy Sector in January 2006. Since then, Chris has worked for Arcadis, Parsons Brinkerhoff, SLR Consulting, WSP and now works for OHES, specialising in environmental claims in relation to contaminated land such as oil spills.

Chris is a member and fellow of both CIWEM and the RGS-IBG, he is a Chartered Geographer, Chartered Environmentalist and Chartered Scientist, is the current Chair of the RGS-IBG Regions, sits on the RGS-IBG Council as a trustee, he is a Geography Ambassador and writes for the RGS-IBG Discovering Britain project.

Laura McNally is a Geography and Geology Graduate, Fellow of the RGS and a Chartered Geographer. Her career began as a Geographic Information Systems Manager at various local authorities and housing associations.

Following the 2007 financial crisis, Laura joined the Royal Air Force as an Intelligence Officer, deploying in support of operations in Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan and on exercise across the UK, and in the USA and Germany. She has worked in multi-national military task forces and led large cross-departmental government intelligence teams.

In 2017 Laura joined the Environment Agency and spends her working day supporting and assuring the EA's legal and moral environmental obligations. She currently leads on the EA's objective to reduce waste and plastic use through 2019.

Out-of-hours she is a Field Operations Duty Officer leading teams of flood defence operatives in emergencies.

Laura's talk, War and Peace: A Dichotomy? highlights the variety of career opportunities open to Geographers and provides contrast both across her own experiences and between her career and Chris's.

Volunteering with Flamborough Head European Marine Site Management Scheme

# data[].attributes.body
To maintain our recreational activity database for another year, I am hoping to recruit some new volunteer surveyors for the 2019 season.  As before, volunteers should be able to commit at least one day a week to carrying out surveys around Flamborough Head and Filey Cliffs during the summer months.  No previous experience is required, as all training will be given, but each surveyor must have their own transport.  The information gathered during these surveys helps the Management Scheme to understand how the protected area is used for recreation and whether these activities impact the sensitive features.

I'd be grateful if you could share the link below with your networks and ask that anyone interested in volunteering their time get in touch with me directly.

https://do-it.org/opportunities/e32658f8-8599-4e73-8d99-50c69474460a

I have also been asked to share a voluntary opportunity with the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Sea Watch Foundation, for Sea Watch Observers along the Yorkshire coast.  Please direct any enquiries about this opportunity to YWT.

Land-use change and plant-pollinator networks in diverse wildflower communities

The Rader lab, in collaboration with the Mayfield lab, is offering a unique and exciting opportunity for a motivated, independent and adventurous PhD candidate to study pollination networks in wildflower communities in the floristically diverse york gum woodlands of Western Australia. Once a year, diverse native plant communities burst into flower, creating one of nature’s true spectacles. Although once widespread, these hyper-diverse wildflower communities now persist in remnant habitat patches surrounded by a sea of agriculture. This system provides a unique opportunity to investigate novel questions linking human-driven environmental disturbance (agricultural expansion) to changes in plant-pollinator networks and plant reproduction. For example, do species with similar network roles also respond in the same way to land-use change? Does agricultural expansion result in increased flow of heterospecific pollen (pollen from different plant species)? What do these changes mean for plant reproduction?

Sign up now - public engagement training: science demonstrations for family audiences
Mon 11 February 10:00 – 16:00 GMT
Apply by Fri 1 February 18:00 GMT

The British Ecological Society will provide a free for members training workshop in 2019, focusing on how to communicate your science with young audiences and families.

Hosted within the marvellously interactive Eureka! children’s museum in West Yorkshire, this hands-on workshop will be led by Chris Snowden, STEM & Public Engagement Manager at Eureka!, a specialist in communicating complex issues to young children and their parents using exciting live demonstrations.

The workshop will be beneficial for both beginners and more experienced communicators, providing a grounding in science communication and learning psychology for younger/family audiences, examining different methods of engagement, how to communicate clearly with children and family audiences, and giving members considerable time to develop their own activities into physical products with one-on-one advice. There will be opportunities to develop these ideas into physical products after the workshop and deliver them at at the Eureka! museum and at BES events in future.

Eureka! welcomes 300,000+ visitors annually including 34,000+ children on school visits providing an incredible range of play based learning experiences to engage children from birth to 11 years old, helping them make sense of the world and to instil a lifelong love of learning. Chris Snowden has engaged the public across a range of subjects, from the science of sound to dinosaurs, run funded projects on food sustainability, chemistry of gases and genomics and trained communicators in everything from engagement and communications techniques to coding.

If you are interested in attending, please complete the online sign-up form. Apply before Fri 1 February 18:00 GMT to avoid disappointment!

Attendees will need to cover their own travel expenses, but please contact Chris Jeffs if you may require financial assistance. We cannot cover costs for travel outside of the UK.

There will be a £20 deposit payable upon acceptance that will be refunded after the event. Cancellations within one week of the training will not be refunded.

We are short of volunteers who can help with collating data and inputting into the national database and, having done the day with Hull University students at Dalby, it seemed that this may be an opportunity for some of them, particularly as we are not too far from Hull.  Do you think the staff you deal with would mind me approaching them to discuss this?  In which case, could you either forward this email to them or let me have contact details so that I can make contact.  If they want to contact me on my work email, it is steve.scoffin@lincolnshire.gov.uk.

Project Description

Meiotic recombination (or crossing-over) is advantageous from an evolutionary perspective, as it rearranges existing allelic variation to create new haplotypes in which beneficial alleles are unpaired from harmful alleles. Consequently, beneficial alleles are more likely to spread through populations whilst harmful alleles are lost, meaning that populations with higher crossing-over can respond to selection at a faster rate. Nevertheless, crossing-over may also have a cost: it can create new harmful mutations, and it may break apart beneficial combinations of alleles previously build up by selection. These relative costs and benefits of high and low recombination may vary within and between populations, and if crossover rate itself is heritable, then it may be subject to selection and have the potential to evolve. Therefore, understanding the genetic causes of variation in crossover rate and positioning is important for understanding the potential of a population to respond to selection and more generally, for interpreting and predicting evolutionary phenomena. This project will use genomic data from a long term ecological study of house sparrows (Passer domesticus) to investigate fine-scale variation in recombination and to determine the genetic architecture and selection on individual recombination rates in a wild system.

Study system: The pedigreed population of house sparrows in Northern Norway has been intensively studied on an individual basis since 1993. Genome-wide SNP data for 200K SNPs is currently available for ~4000 individuals, along with the recently assembled and annotated house sparrow genome. This data is provided in collaboration with Prof Henrik Jensen and Prof Bernt-Erik Sæther at NTNU, Trondheim, Norway.

Key research objectives:
1. Integrate pedigree and SNP information to infer individual recombination rates within the house sparrow population.
2. Determine the heritability of individual recombination rates using quantitative genetic approaches.
3. Conduct genome-wide association studies to identify cis- and trans-acting genomic variants associated with recombination rate variation.
4. Examine association between recombination rates, its genetic architecture and individual fitness-related traits.

Research Training: The project will be mostly computational and will suit students with strong analytical potential. The supervisors will provide cutting-edge training in quantitative genetics, evolutionary genomics and statistics (see below). The first year will include an intensive one-semester course on population genetics, quantitative genetics and statistics at the Institute of Evolutionary Biology which will provide a basis for the analytical work. Further training will be provided Edinburgh Genomics coding and bioinformatics courses. The student will also be able to take advantage of national and international collaborative links of the supervisors and of the house sparrow project community.

Fieldwork: The student will be encouraged to contribute to fieldwork to collect DNA and aid the field team to learn about the ecology of the system.

Lab work: The student will be expected to carry out lab work to prepare DNA for sequencing and genotyping. Experience in molecular ecology lab techniques is desirable but not necessary as training will be provided.

The lead supervisor, Susan Johnston (https://sejohnston.com), has extensive experience in quantitative and evolutionary genomics in wild systems, and has developed methods to quantify individual rates of recombination from complex pedigrees. Co-supervisor Jarrod Hadfield has extensive experience the study of inheritance, selection and evolution of complex traits using theory, statistical inference and experimentation in order to address questions regarding the form of natural selection and the nature of heritable variation.

Field Studies Council - Higher Education Placements - Closing date 31st January

# data[].attributes.body
N.B. The University has a mechanism to support biologists to take a year as placement (even though this is not official in the degree). Anyone who would like to undertake this should contact Dom Henri (d.henri@hull.ac.uk).

The Field Studies Council, FSC, is an environmental education charity providing informative and enjoyable opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to discover, explore, and understand the environment. They are a major employer of environmentally focused graduates in the UK, and run an excellent placement scheme.

The placement is for a maximum of 12 months for students who are undertaking a UK-based Higher Education course where a 1-year placement is a requirement.
Accommodation is provided.
Hours of work: notional 40 hours per week
Placement allowance: currently £89.00 per week
Location of post: Higher Education Student Placements are placed according to business needs at one of FSC’s Learning Locations participating in the HE Student Placement programme.  Whilst candidates can request as part of their application their preferred FSC location this would not normally be confirmed until the appointment stage.
Additional Employee Benefits: these include an Employee Assistance Programme, Life Assurance* and Health Cash Plan with Westfield Health* (*exclusions apply).
Start Date:  August 2019

Description

Each Summer we are joined by over 20 Higher Education Student Placements for their year in industry and we are delighted to announce we are looking for applications for Summer 2019.

Being a HE Student Placement with the FSC is wide-reaching. For the right individual a year with us can offer an array of opportunities and rich experiences. The individual tasks and focus may vary depending on which location you are based at. Marine Biology your thing? Have a think about FSC Millport or FSC Dale Fort. Love mountains? Then FSC Rhyd-y-creuau or FSC Blencathra could be just up your street.   Alternatively, perhaps being in an urban setting with easy transport links into London appeals to you more, then Juniper Hall or Epping Forest maybe ideal.  Whatever the FSC location all HE Student Placements have the chance to work with education groups – some centres work with very young children, some centres have mainly secondary school groups, and others have university and adult courses. There really is something to suit everyone.

EDGE Storytelling Intern (paid internship) - Part-time starting in December - Closing Date 04/11/2018

# data[].attributes.body
Role Profile

The EDGE of Existence programme is the only global conservation initiative to focus specifically on threatened species that represent a significant amount of unique evolutionary history. Using a scientific framework to identify the world’s most Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) species, the EDGE of Existence programme highlights and protects some of the most weird and wonderful species on the planet.

One of the most effective ways in which we work to secure the future of EDGE species is by building conservation capacity in regions in which they occur. This is achieved though awarding two-year Fellowships to future conservation leaders (EDGE Fellows) working on poorly-known EDGE species.

Storytelling is being increasingly recognised as an important tool in science communication. A compelling story can resonate with a reader and empower them to take action. The successful applicant will extract captivating stories about EDGE Fellows and species, delivering them through our website, social media pages, newsletters and other media outputs. This individual will use creative methods to generate content in a wide array of digital storytelling formats, including text, video and photography. The applicant will also more widely support the EDGE team in updating and managing website content.

The Wildlife Blogger of the Year competition is sponsored by SWAROVSKI OPTIK and organised by Terra Incognita.

The competition will open for entries on 8 October 2018 and close at midnight on 30 November 2018.
The Power of Blogging

For most of us, stories began when we were young - read to us by our parents, passed down to us by our grandparents, read in our rooms, daydreamed in classrooms. They are a chance to imagine, share, reflect, interpret and learn.

However, in today's fast-paced world storytelling is being lost - when it is needed most. From the documentaries and films that inspire us, to knowledge and values passed from generation to generation, stories are the universal language that bridges cultures and continents and creates connection, inspiration and positive change.

Bloggers are some of the greatest story-tellers of our time. They learn their craft on their own sites, and educate and inspire by sharing their thoughts, messages and experiences with the globe. Bloggers deserve more support, encouragement and publicity, and this competition is designed to achieve that.

Prizes for the Winners

We will award the Wildlife Blogger of the Year 2018 to a winner with the help of a talented panel of professional writers (see below). We'll also award a Wildlife Blogger of the Year 2018 | Readers' Choice winner, voted for by anyone.

The two winners will each receive:

Promotion and recognition as the runner up of the Wildlife Blogger of the Year 2018, plus a certificate. A huge boost for your blog, and your career.

Your winning entry published on Conservation Careers.

A career boost from Conservation Careers - including year's Lion membership of Conservation Careers, access to the Conservation Career Kick-starter online course (worth £149).

The Benefits of Entering

The Wildlife Blogger of the Year is here to celebrate great story-telling. All entrants will be offered the following benefits as part of the Terra Incognita Eco-Blogger Network:

Reach an international audience. Have your profile featured on Terra Incognita, alongside your latest blog posts, and links to your own site and social media channels.

Join our blogging community. Be part of a global community of storytellers and influencers to exchange ideas, get support, collaborate and increase your profile.

Publish your work. Have the opportunity to publish guest posts on the Terra Incognita blog, with full author credits and links to your site.

Take your blogging to the next level. Find opportunities for paid blogging work from verified ethical tour providers, and get access to special discounted rates to visit our Ethical Tour providers (Coming Soon).

Display the Wildlife Blogger of the Year Entrant's Badge on your blog. Showcase your entry to the world.

How to Enter

The Wildlife Blogger of the Year 2018 competition is open to anyone - amateur or professional - who runs a blog or website. To enter, simply submit a short story about your favourite wildlife moment (in 800 words or fewer) using the following form -> tinyurl.com/wildlifeblogger2018.

Stories must be original (unpublished) and are limited to one entry per person.
The deadline for entries is Midnight on 30 November 2018, and the winners will be announced on 31st December 2018.

HULL EMPLOYABILITY AWARD FOR BIOLOGY STUDENTS

# data[].attributes.subject
HULL EMPLOYABILITY AWARD FOR BIOLOGY STUDENTS

# data[].attributes.body
The Biology teaching team have been working in conjunction with the careers service to create something a bit special. Employability awards just for you! This means that you can use parts of your degree towards award completion. We have done this because we believe that the skills and experiences on your degree will stand you well in a range of careers and would like to encourage you to recognise the full value of your degree.

As part of the awards, students studying Biology are encouraged to reflect on the skills developed through their biological studies (including specialist skills such as data analysis and field skills) and consider how these can apply to a wide range of career options. The Award will help them prepare for the graduate job recruitment process, by learning how to demonstrate their skills to employers.

Students in your final year should have fulfilled most of the criteria already, so it will only take you a couple of days to complete the tasks and claim your badges. I genuinely think this is a useful experience, it should help you create a banging CV.

Position would be great for students who have completed the Concepts in Ecology module!

The Beckerman Lab, Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, is hiring a Research Technician for a NERC funded project entitled: ‘Towards a general theory of ecological impacts of multiple, simultaneous stressors.’ The project is based around simulating community and population response to multiple, simultaneous forms of stress using state of the art bio-energetic food web and foraging models. You will focus on supporting the modelling by constructing a synthetic database of physiological and foraging parameters across marine, freshwater and terrestrial communities and linked to body size. You will contribute towards parameterising models that allow biological mechanisms at multiple scales to determine if stress adds up or not, and then compare this to patterns in real data. This will reveal how features of stressors and features of communities combine to generate the foundation of theory about predictability and the generality of multiple stressor effects on large functioning communities.

You will ideally have 1) a background in food web ecology and species interactions; 2) familiarity and experience with one or more programming languages or databases; 3) an understanding of how biological systems respond to stress.

Are you 18 or over and studying marine biology, zoology, veterinary science, animal management or similar as a BTEC, undergraduate or post graduate course at college or university?

We offer one week placements all year round with the aquarists.  The Deep receives many enquiries from students regarding work experience in this area and most placements are booked a  long time in advance.  Each November our Assistant Curator considers all requests and will make contact with students who have expressed an interest, allocating all places for the following year. All places for 2018 have now been allocated. Students wishing to secure a place for 2019 should contact us, and we’ll add your request to the list, with a decision being made in early November 2018.

Also some retail and catering jobs available for the next 2 days at the following link:

PhD opportunity in Social Evolution at University of St Andrews!

PhD opportunity in Social Evolution at University of St Andrews!

Project Description

Natural selection explains the appearance of design in the living world. But at what level is this design expected to manifest – gene, individual, society – and what is its function? Social evolution provides a window on this problem, by pitting the interests of genes, individuals and societies against each other.

I invite applications for a PhD studentship in my research group at the School of Biology, University of St Andrews, UK. I’m looking for a biology graduate who has a strong interest in social evolution theory, or an economics / mathematics / philosophy / physics graduate with a strong interest in social behaviour.

Current research in my lab involves development of general theory – using kin selection, multilevel selection, game theory and theoretical population genetics approaches – and application of mathematical and simulation models that are tailored to the biology of real organisms, from microbes to insects to humans (see http://synergy.st-andrews.ac.uk/gardner/ for more details). To this end, I strongly encourage interactions within the wider grouping of theoretical and empirical biologists in St Andrews, as well as with collaborators further afield.

If social evolution really fascinates you, and you are a careful thinker, then you will flourish in the type of project that I enjoy supervising.
Please direct informal enquiries to Prof Andy Gardner (andy.gardner@st-andrews.ac.uk).

Funding Notes

Eligibility requirements: Upper second-class degree in Biology or a related area.

This PhD will provide 3.5 years of ERC funding for UK or EU students, including fees, stipend and research and travel expenses.
