Benefits: Pension, Life Assurance, 26 days Annual Leave
We are seeking a Principal Conservation Scientist to develop and take forward a broad portfolio of applied ecological research in support of RSPB’s international conservation objectives and collaborate closely with BirdLife International, and BirdLife partners. Depending on skills and experience, you will develop, manage, or contribute to work in the following areas: conservation of globally threatened species, site based conservation, global commodities consumed in the UK (e.g. cocoa), land use and land cover change (especially along the east Atlantic Flyway), international conventions and conservation legislation, and nature based solutions.
You will be a nationally or internationally recognised scientist with a track record of publishing in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. You will have experience of designing and delivering scientific studies, and of winning external research funding. You will demonstrate an aptitude to build and maintain effective working relationships both within the RSPB and with external partners including universities and research institutes, but also key conservation organisations and project specific stakeholder groups. You will develop a scientific programme to underpin the key conservation challenges and opportunities facing the RSPB internationally, relating to species conservation, site conservation and landscape and regional scale land cover change and conservation planning.
This is an exciting opportunity for a conservation scientist to contribute to RSPB’s international conservation science programme at a crucial time in the biodiversity and climate crises.
The location of this role has flexibility, with the post being based in RSPB offices in one of Cambridge, The Lodge, or in Edinburgh. Although advertised as a full time position, we will consider applicants who wish to work part time.
What is the role about?
- Informing and steering a research programme in multiple fields that will inform RSPB’s international conservation policy and practice.
- Through impactful scientific communication, providing scientific advice and enhance RSPB’s scientific reputation through the production of peer reviewed science.
- Being RSPB's expert in focal areas, developing and maintaining scientific and technical expertise in those specialist areas, to identify emerging issues and associated research questions, to underpin RSPB's conservation activity.
- Designing, costing and managing the delivery of multiple projects, to provide the evidence base to underpin RSPB's conservation activity and minimise the reputational risk of lack of evidence underpinning our work.
- Recruiting, managing, and developing multiple staff across all grades up to senior conservation scientist (and volunteers and students), to ensure the RSPB has the knowledge and skills required to deliver excellence in conservation science, and develop capacity at all levels, including in partners.
- Identifying, building and maintaining effective relationships with external partners, particularly universities, research institutes, government and NGOs in the UK and internationally and knowledge of BirdLife International and the BirdLife partnership.
- Working closely and contribute to the functioning of the International Conservation Science team and the RSPBs Centre for Conservation Science.
- A high level of engagement and provision of scientific advice and to the wider RSPB policy and practice communities and BirdLife International.
What we need from you:
Essential
- Extensive post-PhD experience as a scientist, managing scientific projects, budgets and staff and a broad knowledge of conservation issues and practice, and conservation science.
- Ability to effectively manage multiple line reports and several projects, good interpersonal skills, and knowledge of key legal and practical requirements for ensuring health and safety of staff and volunteers, sometimes in difficult field conditions, for instance tropical rainforests.
- Ability to be self motivated and work efficiently and to prioritise own working schedule. This necessitates the ability to plan and organise their own work and manage the work of others they are line-managing.
- Specialist and up–to–date knowledge of statistical analysis and modelling to enable innovative, robust analysis and interpretation of any type and size of data set and good knowledge of at least one programming language (e.g. R, Python, JavaScript)
- Collecting, collating, manipulating, analysing large and complex data-sets that can pass international peer-reviewed standards of scrutiny and audit.
- Ability to influence others through production of high impact written material: for example peer– reviewed papers in scientific journals (demonstrable outstanding track record of scientific publication in internationally recognised journals), reports to funders, books and book chapters, but also written material for any media channel with a demonstrable outstanding track record of scientific publication in internationally recognised journals.
- Knowledge and proven success of how best to win external and internal funding, for both UK and International work.
Desirable
- Broad and deep knowledge of UK and international species ecology and ecological principles.
- Knowledge of how to provide strategic leadership and guidance on multiple fields for the organisation.
- Good interpersonal skills in order to develop and maintain excellent relations with internal and external stakeholders.

This is an opportunity to join a growing team at the Global Distributors Collective (GDC). The GDC started in October 2018 and, since then, we have gone from strength to strength supporting our members – last mile distribution organisations – to sell life-changing products to low-income, remote or otherwise marginalised people across the world. Our ambition is to make last mile distribution the first priority.
Engaging with our members and partners sits at the core of everything we do; from delivering our innovation workstream and providing technical assistance directly to our members, to hosting learning and collaboration events and gathering/disseminating research and insights. In this role you will work closely with the Head of the GDC, GDC Project Manager and particularly the Communications and Impact Manager to help shape and deliver an ambitious agenda of communications activities, to support last mile distribution companies to save time, money and increase their impact at the last mile. You will also coordinate our member engagement work, providing you with an opportunity to liaise directly with, and learn about, socially-driven companies operating all across the world.
No two days working for the GDC are the same. We are a small, fun and fast-paced team looking forward to welcoming a new team member into the mix!
About you
You are an enthusiastic and motivated individual with a questioning mind and desire to learn. As a communications professional, you will have exceptional written and verbal communications skills and be comfortable liaising with a range of stakeholders. Your eye for design means you are creative with the ability to champion the GDC brand, ensuring that our external communications are always top quality. You will be familiar with working in a customer- or client-facing role; experience working or volunteering within a membership organisation would be an asset.
You are comfortable to work remotely and undertake tasks independently, often delivering work to time-pressured deadlines; while also being a keen team player and ready to chip in when necessary. While you may not have prior experience of working in the international development sector, you’ll have an interest in development issues and finding ways to improve the lives of marginalised people.
As our small international team works predominantly in English, it’s important that you are a fluent English speaker. Many of our members speak French as a first language, so French language skills would also be an asset!
Why join us?
The opportunity to work for an organisation that is making a positive difference to the lives of people worldwide, a friendly and supportive culture, working with values driven and highly engaged colleagues, work life balance and flexible working – these are just some of the reasons we think Practical Action is a great place to work.
Our other benefits include:
- Full time roles are contracted at 35 hours per week
- 26 days holiday rising with continuous service, in addition to public holidays.
- Pension scheme - employer contributes 10.5% of salary and the employee contributes 5%.
- Enhanced family friendly policies, including maternity, adoption, paternity and shared parental leave.
- Life assurance (3 x annual salary).
- Bike to Work scheme.
- Global Employee Assistance Programme
- Remote working / home working is possible with this role.
