Assistant Coastal Birds Project Monitoring Officer
You will be responsible for delivering a key element of the Bird Aware Solent programme of which the Trust is a partner.
Bird Aware Solent aims to raise awareness of overwintering coastal birds within the three Solent Special Protection Areas (SPAs) and reduce disturbance to coastal birds through influencing the behaviour of visitors, and through projects that aim to mitigate for increased visitor and recreational pressures in the Solent.
You will assist on the design and implementation of pre and post mitigation monitoring for the projects, by surveying and assessing the impacts on coastal birds and visitor behaviour.
About you
Monitoring and research work is essential to ensuring conservation decision-making is based on sound evidence. This role therefore requires experience in coastal bird ecology, ecological survey techniques and data analysis.
You’ll be an enthusiastic team player with an interest in coastal bird ecology. This role would suit a candidate who is interested in applying their affinity for data analysis to the benefit of birds and people through strategic mitigation solutions.
