Research Staff

The Biodiversity and Conservation Research (BIOCONS) team are a highly interactive group of researchers within the Faculty of Biological Sciences and the Earth and Biosphere Institute. Their wide range of research interests (see below), supports a broad spectrum of training. All team members have an established track record of providing excellent standards of training and supervision to both UK and international postgraduate and postdoctoral scientists who have progressed to careers within the national and international communities.
