We're hiring a fieldworker to help with some of our projects in Wytham Woods this spring. Wonderful place to work (and live), especially in the spring. Get in touch if you'd like to know more.

We are seeking to appoint a fulltime field assistant to work on the Wytham Tit Project for 4-8 weeks in spring 2025. Duties will include (i) collecting standardised data from nest-box breeding populations of tits, (ii) setting up equipment to monitor foraging behaviour of great tits (e.g. cameras, proximity loggers), (iii) fitting proximity tags and accelerometers to adult great tits (iv) inputting data collected in the field. The start date and duration of this position is flexible, depending on availability of the successful candidate. The post could last up to 8 weeks, starting in mid-April, or c. 4 weeks, starting in early May. All fieldwork will take place in Wytham Woods, near Oxford. The work is variable in intensity and will at times require long days in the field, and working some weekend days, but this will be balanced out by a quieter period at the start and end of the season. Successful candidates must have (or be qualified to obtain) a BTO permit to ring adult great tits, be able to demonstrate skill and enthusiasm for biological research as well as experience of fieldwork under arduous conditions, and both lone work and working as part of a team. Due to the short-term nature of these posts, successful applicants must already have the right to work in the UK. Salary & Accommodation: Field assistants will be paid at grade 5.2 (£17.02/hour) and responsible for finding their own accommodation. It will be possible to hire accommodated at the Wytham Chalet, a research station within Wytham Woods. Alternatively, field assistants can find private accommodation locally and use their own transport to commute to the woods (approx. 30 min by car or bike, depending on location). Please submit an application, consisting of (1) a covering letter explaining relevant experience and motivation, (2) a CV (max 2 pages), and the names of two people who can be contacted as referees, by Tuesday 11th March 2025 to eleanor.cole@biology.ox.ac.uk. Inquiries to same email.

Ten thousand 🙏 to everyone who has signed our petition to ban driven grouse shooting! The Govt will now have to respond. But we're not finished yet - we want a parliamentary debate and for that we need 100,000 signatures. Can you help us reach our target? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Fossil fuel companies are laughing in our faces , and while the planet burns , they continue to ‘drill baby drill’ and further their exploitation of people and nature . That's why I'm calling on the UK Government to ban fossil fuel ads outright – sign my petition now at lovera.ge/ban-ffa

I needed some socks 🧦 I ordered some socks. Reasonably priced IMO but why oh why am I forced to pay for next day delivery more than half the price of a pack of socks. I’m happy if they turn up next week I don’t need everything I order tomorrow. 🗓️ *This is about my Bluesky tweet level 🤖
