Biodiversity Scientist-Data and Analytics

Overview

What We Can Achieve Toge.ther:The Biodiversity Scientist –Date and Analytics is a core member of TNC’s newly established Biodiversity Science team within Global Science — a global conservation organization working in more than 80 countries.

Reporting to the Global Direc.tor of Biodiversity Science, with a dotted line to our Science Capacity team, this scientist plays a central role in helping TNC understand, measure, and demonstrate biodiversity outcomes at scale.

The position sits at the intersection of data science, biodiversity moni.toring, and organizational capacity — syn.thesizing different, disparate streams of field and remote data in.to coherent biodiversity frameworks that regional and field teams around the world can apply to conservation planning and decision-making.

The Biodiversity Scientist – Date and Analytics works with regional and field scientists and moni.toring and evaluation colleagues to co-develop biodiversity moni.toring frameworks, curate and integrate biodiversity datasets, and deliver the analytical support and training that TNC needs to demonstrate credible biodiversity outcomes.

A key part of this role is building science capacity by developing and providing training to regional and field teams on the data foundations of biodiversity outcomes, using advanced data analytics to support study design, data collection, management and analysis as part of TNC’s science capacity team.The

the rapidly changing technological landscape for biodiversity science — including AI-assisted tools, au.tomated data pipelines, and the evolving potential of agentic systems — and the ability to evaluate and apply these advances responsibly in support of conservation impact.This is a two-year funded position with the possibility for extension based on deliverables and funding.

We’re Looking for You:We’re looking for a biodiversity scientist who excels at working with different, complex data — someone who can bring toge.ther disparate field observations, remote sensing products (including camera trap, bioacoustics, and o.ther sensors), global databases, and community-generated datasets in.to integrated biodiversity frameworks.

You bring technical depth in biodiversity moni.toring and data analysis, and you know how to translate that expertise in.to practical guidance that regional scientists and field practitioners can use in the places they work.

You are energized by the challenge of making biodiversity science useful at the scale of TNC’s global portfolio.

You believe that moni.toring approaches should be rigorous enough to be credible, feasible enough to be sustained, and timely enough to inform decisions — and you are drawn to

to build that kind of practical, lasting capacity across a global organization.

You are equally excited by the rapid evolution of biodiversity science technologies, including AI-assisted analysis and agentic tools, and you bring the curiosity and judgment t
