Events Rep x 2
We are looking for two individuals who have a passion for invasion science and are interested in a leadership role planning events for the BES Invasion SIG.
One of your first responsibilities as the new Events Rep will be leading the development, organisation and delivery of our next event in June 2024 with the help of the SIG’s Chair and Co-Chair. Our last event in June 2023 was extremely successful, connecting researchers, practitioners and decision-makers as well as students and early career researchers. Our aim is to run a similar event in 2024, building on the information learned and connections made in 2023.
The Invasion Science Group provides a network to connect researchers and practitioners both nationally and internationally, who work in the field of invasion science.
Membership of the SIG committee is a voluntary role.
If you are interested in this role, please email your C.V. and a short cover letter outlining your interest for this role to Monica McCard, the Chair of the Invasion Science SIG.
Applications for this role will close as soon as two suitable people are appointed.
Background
The Invasion Science Group provides a network to connect researchers and practitioners both nationally and internationally, who work in the field of invasion science. The group will facilitate application of invasion science research, and better targeting of research to meet applied needs, through engaging with policy-makers and organisations tasked with managing invasive species.

Aims
The main aim of the Invasion SIG is to provide space for communication and collaboration between researchers, practitioners and policymakers in invasion science.
This will be achieved through three main objectives:
- Exchanging knowledge in invasion science across ecosystems and taxonomic groups
- Facilitating/supporting interactions between research-, policy- and management-focused invasion science
- Supporting early career invasion scientists to develop their careers in academic/research, management and/or policy-facing directions
Meetings & Events
Information about all upcoming events can be found on the Events page.
