Exciting Student Placement Opportunity – Join us in ‘Future-proofing’ the Severn Estuary

We’re pleased to offer an exciting student placement as part of our “Future Proofing the Severn Estuary” project. Hosted within Cardiff University’s School of Earth and Environmental Sciences and funded by the Nature Networks Programme through the National Heritage Lottery Fund, this project focuses on enhancing the protection and resilience of the Severn Estuary Marine Protected Area (MPA).
As a placement student, you’ll play a key role in updating our State of the Severn Estuary Report—a crucial resource for environmental monitoring and decision-making. You’ll help develop an evidence and data collection plan and work directly with stakeholders to identify data needs, gaps and resolution requirements for decision-makers.
You’ll be part of a dedicated and supportive team, gaining valuable experience in data gathering, stakeholder engagement, and environmental reporting. The role offers flexible, blended working and will involve travel across the Severn Estuary area.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a student passionate about marine conservation, sustainability, and environmental data. Applications are open until 20th June. For more information about the role and how to apply, click the button below.
