JOBS BOARD
Post your Jobs with us.
When opportunity is shared fairly; performance improves, teams get stronger, cultures get healthier, decisions get wiser, and planet earth will be healthier.
We are launching the WOS Jobs Board to create a platform that connects organisations across marine science, conservation, research, and the blue economy with a dedicated global community of women building careers in the ocean sector
PAID ROLES ONLY. We do not accept listings for unpaid internships, unpaid work experience, or voluntary positions.

THE WOS COMMUNITY
Global
Members across every continent working in ocean science and conservation
All levels
Undergrads to senior scientists, technicians to policy leads
Targeted
Women actively pursuing careers in the ocean sector
WHY THE WOS JOBS BOARD
Equality drives better science, safer fieldwork, and stronger conservation outcomes.
Women make up over 50% of marine science graduates, yet remain significantly underrepresented at mid to senior and leadership levels. If your organisation is serious about fixing this ‘leaky pipeline’, this is where you find the right people.
The WOS Jobs Board is part of our Elevate Ocean Membership and will sit alongside mentorship, training resources, and professional development tools.
Posting here places your roles in front of a community that is actively invested in building careers in ocean science.
A healthier, more equitable sector means a larger, stronger talent pipeline for everyone
Targeted reach
Your listing sits in front of a self-selecting community of women actively pursuing ocean science careers, not buried in a general job site competing with thousands of unrelated roles
Every level, every role
Field technicians, PhD studentships, postdocs, research leads, policy roles, marine tech, conservation management — our members span the full career spectrum and every corner of the ocean sector
Signal your values
Posting with WOS tells candidates, and the wider sector, that your organisation is genuinely committed to recruiting and retaining women in science.
Support the mission
Your advertising fee directly funds WOS programmes, including Safe Ocean, Elevate Ocean and Empower Ocean, that improve conditions across the sector you recruit from. Better conditions mean a larger talent pipeline.
