About the role

The new role will support the BioSciences’ People and Nature Laboratory at UCL East by conducting cross-disciplinary research-led teaching, outreach, and entrepreneurial activities in applied ecological and biodiversity research and/or environmental engineering. We are particularly interested in candidates with interests in the impact of urbanisation on biodiversity and ecosystem health, how urban environments can be engineered to benefit ecosystems and climate resilience, and those investigating how nature-based solutions can be implemented in urban environments.

The People and Nature Lab unites Bioscience staff together with those from the UCL Departments of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering; Geography; and The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment and Computer Science. This unique interdisciplinary environment will tackle challenges posed by biodiversity loss, global ecosystem degradation and climate change, for a more sustainable relationship between people and nature. Based within the Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment, the role is aligned to our new cross-disciplinary masters programme MSc Ecology and Urban Engineering and other teaching opportunities.

Interview Date(s) are scheduled for late June.
