The Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH), part of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), is the UK’s Centre of Excellence for integrated research in terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems and their interaction with the atmosphere.
Working in partnership with the research community, policy-makers, industry and society, CEH’s research builds on an extensive monitoring network associated with a wealth of environmental information, and addresses some of the most complex environmental challenges facing humankind. CEH has an annual turnover of £33 million, and has more than 600 permanent staff and students across four sites; the headquarters is at Wallingford with further sites at Bangor, Edinburgh and Lancaster.
An exciting opportunity now exists to join CEH as the Communications Team Manager.
