Summary of the role

This post is available from 16 September 2019 to 31 January 2021 and is part of a project involving the University of Exeter, Cornwall Council, Cornwall Development Company and Cornwall Wildlife Trust (including the Environmental Records Centre for Cornwall and Isles of Scilly).

In this role, you will assist in the delivery of a network of different kinds of environmental sensors, around Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
