To succeed in the role, you:

• are currently studying a relevant university programme, e.g. BSc Natural Resources, BSC Geography and Geoinformatics, MSc Forest and Nature Management, MSc Nature Management, MSc Climate Change or similar and are preferably in the third year of your bachelor’s degree or the first year of your master’s degree


• preferable have experience with GIS software such as ArcGIS or QGIS
