We seek to recruit an MSc student to undertake a research project which examines the links between the economic costs of alien species and their biodiversity impacts.
We are seeking a student with a strong interest in the conservation of biodiversity and in particular, biological invasions.

Working on this project you will further develop your research skills, including approaches to literature reviews, management of large datasets and statistical analysis using R.
We welcome applications from minority backgrounds under-represented in STEM subjects.

Duration: 6-12 months
