Research Assistant
We are seeking to appoint a Research Assistant for a new 12-month project
funded by the Ecological Citizens’ Grant. This project aims to deepen people’s
connection with nature by developing and testing an interactive digital
platform for species-level advocacy, creative engagement, and conservation
action. It also includes piloting 2-3 Interspecies Assemblies—innovative,
participatory events that bring the voice of nature into decision-making
spaces.
The Research Assistant will help design, deliver, and evaluate these
activities with strong support from the project's leads and collaborators.
Based in the Department of Biology’s Oxford offices, the post holder will work
closely with the Principal Investigator (PI), project team members from the
Nature-based Solutions Initiative (NbSI), and the new organisation, I Stand
Beside (ISB). The role involves reviewing ecological and social science
literature, collating information from biodiversity databases, supporting
platform user testing, co-organising gatherings, designing and conducting
surveys and data collected by the platform, analysing data, and helping draft
reports and publications on the findings.
The successful applicant will be educated to degree level or equivalent
professional experience in ecology, geography (social sciences), environmental
sciences, or a related field. They will have demonstrable interest in and/or
basic knowledge of biodiversity, conservation, and nature-based engagement
approaches and familiarity with social sciences tools. Strong writing and
digital literacy skills, able to produce concise content for websites and
reports, and to adapt quickly to new systems or tools is essential. Excellent
organisational skills and attention to detail; ability to multitask and meet
deadlines under pressure are necessary.
Ideally the post holder will be able to start by 1 July 2025, or soon after.
The University of Oxford is committed to equality and valuing diversity. All
applicants will be judged on merit, according to the selection criteria.
