Overview
The Applied Ecologist is a highly successful blog, receiving approximately 70,000 page views per year. Sharing a broad range of topical research from across the field of applied ecology, the blog sits alongside the journals, Journal of Applied Ecology and Ecological Solutions and Evidence, as a key platform for members of our applied ecology community and journal authors to communicate aspects of their work with a wider audience.

This is a voluntary position, with the Blog Editor working remotely from wherever they are based. The role is anticipated to require in the region of 8 -10 hours per month, with the Blog Editor deciding how to best fit this in around their other commitments.
