We are seeking a researcher with experience in Nature-based Solutions implementation
and monitoring & evaluation to join our research team.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an ambitious mission to translate
cutting-edge science into practice. We work with a range of clients on how to tackle the most
critical issues of our time – climate change and biodiversity loss – whilst supporting
economic recovery. We are looking for a talented individual with comprehensive knowledge of
Nature-based Solutions and their implementation, primarily to support our work on establishing
monitoring & evaluation frameworks and to conduct due diligence assessments for investments
in Nature-based Solutions.
Who we are
Nature-based Insights is a Social Venture spin out of the
University of Oxford’s Nature-based Solutions Initiative. Our vision is a transformed private
sector that is supporting thriving human and ecological communities globally. Drawing on the
University’s world-leading expertise and network, we help organisations set and achieve
socially just and credible Biodiversity and Net Zero goals by integrating Nature-based
Solutions and innovative science into their core operations, with integrity.
We are a passionate team of individuals spanning a broad range of research interests,
experiences and backgrounds. Typically, we work with large corporates and financial
institutions covering global supply chains and assets with large landscape-scale geographies.
We are driven by impact, and work with organisations who are serious about ensuring their
climate, biodiversity, social commitments and strategies are ambitious and credible.
The role
This role will span two key pillars of our work – monitoring & evaluation for
nature-based landscape interventions, and due diligence assessments for investments in NbS
projects. Having a clear understanding of NbS and the technical considerations for
implementation and monitoring will be essential.
The role will require strong skills in qualitative analysis and synthesis combined with
comprehensive knowledge of NbS in order to make sound, independent judgements whilst conducting
due diligence or developing M&E solutions. Our project work is often fast paced and time
sensitive, so the right candidate will be a highly organised independent worker.
Your work will help build pragmatic M&E frameworks for projects which take into
account the specific local contexts of interventions, incorporating the latest science and
leveraging diverse monitoring technologies to maximise insights. It’s a critical part of our
working process with clients to ensure scientific integrity is upheld and assessment of impact
is robust. With our due diligence assessments, you’ll be making an assessment of integrity for
multi-million dollar NbS project proposals. This will require the synthesis of a large
portfolio of evidence, interviewing project developers and potentially making site visits to
locations across the world.
You will be joining Nature-based Insights at a pivotal time in our development, with a
real opportunity to have an impact on our direction and work – working alongside a passionate
network of colleagues, partners, clients, who share your mission and values.
Responsibilities will include:
What we offer
Who we are looking for
We are looking for an independent researcher who would be interested in joining our
research team, to deliver innovative and high quality solutions for our clients operating and
investing in landscapes and supply chains across the world.
You’ll be joining a fast moving and expanding start-up, so this role will require
adaptability and an ability to spot opportunities which contribute to the business’
development. For the right candidate it’s an exciting opportunity to apply the latest science
to real world projects that help maximise positive outcomes for nature and people.
We are proud to support our employees in their career aspirations and for the right
candidate, and would be open to discussing how the role can be adapted or evolve to best suit
both parties – including part time or job share arrangements.
