Join one of the most exciting environmental economics teams in conservation and help understand the problems of, and develop practical solutions to, the externalities and other market failures that drive biodiversity loss.

Working in a small team of economists, you will provide economic analysis and advice on a wide range of policy areas including agriculture, climate change, marine, and international financing. The team leads the RSPB's advocacy to influence policy change at Westminster, Brussels, and the devolved administrations on fiscal and regulatory issues such as green taxes.
