Leadership in Ecological Education

The BES is looking for a new chair to lead our education and careers activities from September 2009.

Anyone who is engaged in ecological research and teaching will be acutely aware of the need to ensure strong streams of young ecologists to maintain the future national capability in the discipline.  We are looking for a chair who is passionate about developing activities that will enhance recruitment and retention of students into ecology and promote the discipline more widely across all levels of the education sector.  If you feel strongly about these issues and have strong leadership and management skills please get in touch.  Previous experience of teaching in the secondary sector in not a requirement for this post but an enthusiasm for the teaching and learning of ecology is.  The chair will be elected as a trustee of the Society and has the opportunity to engage with the wider activities of the BES.
