At Land Life, our mission is to restore the planet’s 2 billion hectares of degraded

land. We’re looking for a Restoration Science intern to join us. This is an opportunity

to make a positive impact on local communities and biodiversity while gaining

invaluable skills in nature restoration.

THIS IS US:

Land Life is a technology-driven international scale-up with over 10 years of

experience in nature restoration. Our ambition is not just to create positive change,

but to inspire it. Last year we planted 3.5 million trees worldwide and were

recognised as an UpLink Top Innovator at the 2024 World Economic Forum in

Davos. In Australia, we’ve planted over 4500 ha of degraded land since 2019 and

are committed to increasing our targets. Our team is global and our impact is

significant.

THE ROLE:

Understanding the success of our nature restoration efforts is crucial to Land Life’s

goals. We engage in extensive monitoring efforts to track tree growth and survival to

improve future planting designs. In Australia, we use both seeds and seedlings for

restoration. By analysing the data collected during our restoration approach, we can

identify if it leads to improved restoration outcomes.

As part of this internship, you will play a crucial role in supporting this process. You’ll

be working in the Science team, which includes biologists, foresters, and ecologists.

Your main responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Performing a literature review on the pros and cons of direct seeding as a
  
  

restoration approach.

• Compiling the monitoring data of our projects to prepare it for further analysis.
• Conducting data analyses to extract key insights that contribute to restoration
  
  

strategies.

• Assisting in writing reports summarising findings from your analyses.
• Assisting with potential fieldwork for seedling survival monitoring.
  
  

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

• Work in a highly engaged, rapidly growing international nature-restoration
  
  

company towards impact you can see

• Stipend of AUD24.10/hour (based on part-time)
• Office in regional Kyneton, accessible via VLine train from Melbourne
• Free lunches at the office
• Hybrid and flexible working (at least 1 day in the office)
  
  

THIS IS YOU:

• Currently enrolled in a Master’s degree in Environmental Science, Ecology,
  
  

Biology, or a related field.

• Strong research and data analysis skills, ideally comfortable with R.
• Comfortable working with complex datasets and with a problem-solving
  
  

mindset.

• Able to work both independently and as part of a collaborative international
  
  

team

• Strong written and spoken English skills.
  
  

Application procedures:

• Submit your CV and cover letter using the “apply“ button below. Our process
  
  

includes several interview rounds with colleagues based in Australia and

Europe.

We welcome different perspectives and experiences because we believe this is the

foundation for achieving high-integrity nature restoration at scale. We believe in

equal opportunities for everyone and encourage people from all backgrounds to

apply.
