The Population Ecology and Modelling Team conducts a wide-range of research around the identification of conservation problems and the use of long-term extensive data sets to address policy-relevant issues. A significant proportion of the work is related to environmental change, but a wide-range of other topics, such as impacts of renewable energy development on birds, impacts of non-native species and the role of birds as indicators of wider environmental change are currently also being tackled. The postholder will also be expected to collaborate widely with other research, monitoring and development teams within the BTO and with a range of external organisations such as the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Rothamsted Research, RSPB and academic staff at universities.
