n Defra, we deal with a vast range of issues that profoundly affect people’s lives. We are responsible for England’s environment, countryside and rural economy, the food and farming sectors and have a lead responsibility for protection from a wide range of natural threats and hazards.

You will support priority work on nature security, environmental crime, sustainable agriculture, and evidence needs linked to future G7 and G20 priorities. This includes helping to build on the UK's Nature security assessment on global ecosystems and exploring how environmental crime and wider pressures on nature (such as land and sea-use change, invasive non-native species and over-exploitation) affect ecosystem degradation, resilience and security. Across these areas, you will bring together emerging evidence and analysis to shape policy choices and programme design.
