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. The blog also serves as an accessible space to discuss trends in the field or topics of interest to ecologists working in both research and practical environmental management.
We are looking for an active ecologist with a passion for stimulating dialogue and communication across the community. Part of the journal's Editorial Board, the Blog Editor will work with the journals' Editorial Offices to identify, commission and deliver scientifically robust, high-quality content for the blog.
About us
Having started in 2014 as the official blog of Journal of Applied Ecology, the blog expanded in 2020 to include the journal Ecological Solutions and Evidence and Applied Ecology Resources, a new initiative to better connect applied ecology research and practice, which is associated with it.
The British Ecological Society's vision is for nature and people to thrive in a world inspired by ecology. We are the oldest ecological society in the world, with over 8000 members worldwide. We publish seven successful journals, a range of better science guides and a quarterly membership magazine, The Niche. We actively value the diversity and wide range of perspectives that people from different backgrounds bring to their work, to ecology and to our Society.
About the role

in the field. The role also offers excellent opportunities to work and network with individuals outside of their immediate subject area.
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.
We welcome applicants who have completed, or are in the process of completing their PhD, to apply.
Applicants can be based anywhere in the world.
