The role The role is based within the Interdisciplinary Centre for Conservation Science in the Biology Department, working closely with the wider CASCADE programme's core team across five universities to deliver the programme's strategy in the UK and internationally. The person will be the key focal point for this ambtious new programme and will take the lead in coordinating its delivery across the five universities. They will have particular responsibility for internal and external communications, events and internal governance of the programme as we move towards ongoing sustainability. Research Coordinators have a key role to play in advancing an inclusive culture within their programmes, their Departments, and the University. You will be expected to contribute to ensuring a productive, welcoming and collegiate environment, for example by contributing to initiatives and policies promoting equality, diversity and access for under-represented groups at all levels. Interdisciplinary Centre for Conservation Science The Interdisciplinary Centre for Conservation Science (ICCS) is an academic research group working at the interface of social and ecological systems within the Department of Biology at the University of Oxford. The team uses a range of approaches to address key issues in current conservation, with a focus on evidence-based approaches that have social justice at their core, and a mission to ensure that our research is based on end-user priorities and has real-world impact. CASCADE The Conservation and Sustainability Consortium of Academic Institutions (CASCADE: www.cascade.ac.uk) is a consortium of leading conservation researchers in UK academic institutions (currently 23 institutions, but with the ambition to grow), which brings together researchers working on finding solutions to one of the biggest challenges facing humanity, the biodiversity crisis. The core institutions are Oxford, Leeds, Newcastle, York and Durham universities. CASCADE aims to develop the collective capability for KE of UK academic institutions, partner institutions and end-users, in order to support international conservation policy and practice. We believe that only through sharing resources and knowledge and acting in partnership with other research institutions, government agencies, NGOs and industry will we be able to work towards finding solutions to global issues. Working together, we aim to be much more effective in increasing the impact of, and funding coming into, cross-disciplinary conservation research, and reducing duplication of effort. We want to build on, deepen, and extend our existing relationships with external partners, so that our research is demand-led, with impact in the areas that matter most to these partners. This will generate timely real-world impact from conservation policy engagement by CASCADE members and establish CASCADE as the major UK-based knowledge exchange hub for international conservation. Support and benefits Roles at Oxford are inherently flexible, so your working hours can be arranged around caring responsibilities with relative ease. We also welcome requests for more formalised flexible working, such as a reduction in hours.

The Department established from August 2022 as a result of a merger between the Departments of Zoology and Plant Sciences, and is preparing to move into the new state-of-the-art Life and Mind Building in two to three years time. The Department of Biology is recognised internationally for its research in a wide range of fields spanning all levels from molecules to ecosystems, and tackling global challenges through fundamental bioscience research. Over time, the research interests of the Department has been focused on five primary themes: Behaviour & Biomechanics; Ecology & Conservation; Evolutionary Biology; Microbiology & Infectious Disease; and Molecular Plant Biology. Research is conducted in all spheres from laboratory and in silico analysis to theoretical and field-based research. At all times we seek to reinforce the connections between research and our education offering, at both graduate and undergraduate level. The Department teaches a four-year undergraduate degree MBiol course in Biology, with fourth-year students undertaking a Masters-level research project. It also supports a variety of graduate placements and hosts the University’s DPhil in Biology. External research income to the Department is derived from over 50 different funding agencies, with the principal current funders being the European Research Council, the Royal Society, the Wellcome Trust, BBSRC and NERC. The Department has a significant record in integrating broader societal impacts of its research, including the provision of policy to government at the highest level, as well as supporting the commercialisation of research through spin-out companies and licensing arrangements that have generated hundreds of millions of pounds’ worth of innovation. The Department is located in the University’s Science Area at two sites, and will move into the new £200m Life and Mind Building in 2024 that will include extensive laboratory provision with controlled environment rooms, glasshouses and an imaging suite.
