Hiring Organization:
Para La Tierra
Position Description:
Para la Tierra has recently launched a new long term study on the Paraguayan tufted capuchin (Cebus apella paraguayanus). Located within the Atlantic forest at the Laguna Blanca wildlife reserve these populations are poorly studied and understood. The project aims to establish long term research into the behaviour, ecology, and genetics of this species.
Para la Tierra seeks volunteers to assist in the preliminary stages of the project. Presently the capuchins are not fully habituated or radio collared. Volunteers will be expected to assist in all parts of the project. Duties will include trail cutting, trail marking, GPS work, map making, daily searches for the monkeys, and collection of basic data. Volunteers will be expected to work 5-6 days per week and between 6-10 hours per day. This position will provide an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience in living and working at a field research site as well as in the study of wild primates. Successful volunteers in these primary stages of the project will be prioritised when fully funded behavioural assistantships become available later in the year.
Qualifications/Experience:
Essential requirements
1. Interest in natural habitats and animal behaviour
2. Hard working
3. High level of enthusiasm, commitment, and motivation
4. Above average level of physical fitness
5. Ability to work both independently and within a team of local and European/US researchers
Desired but not essential
1. Experience in working on a field research project
2. Some level of foreign travel or living/work experience within a developing country and ideally the tropics
3. A university level qualification in animal behaviour, zoology, anthropology or other relevant discipline
4. Prepared to make a minimum commitment of 2 months
5. Competent in Spanish (verbal)
Additionally volunteers must have a tolerance towards local customs and beliefs and be comfortable with other conditions and risks that are simply part of tropical fieldwork, such as limited healthcare and rare confrontations with potentially dangerous plants or animals.
Salary/funding:
This is a volunteer position and as such no wage or stipend is currently available. The volunteer is responsible for their return flight to Paraguay, visas, which will need extending after 3 months for an additional 3 months, comprehensive travel and medical insurance, field site fees ($850 per month), and all field clothing.
Support provided for internship/volunteer positions (travel, meals, lodging):
Comfortable accommodation (shared rooms and bathrooms, hot showers), 3 meals per day, laundry, wireless internet, free access to leisure activities within the reserve (horse riding, kayaking), transportation from local town to field site.
Term of Appointment:
Open but preference will be given to candidates who can commit for a minimum of 2 months
Application Deadline:
Rolling applications
Comments:
Candidates should send a cover letter, CV, and contact details for 2 references.

PROYECTO: Ecología y conservación de primates en los bosques del Magdalena Medio en Colombia.
La Fundación Proyecto Primates está realizando un estudio de la comunidad de primates en varias localidades del Magdalena Medio Colombiano con el fin de entender como afecta la pérdida de hábitat y la fragmentación a las diferentes especies de primates. En especial se está haciendo énfasis en estudiar aspectos básicos de la ecología y comportamiento de Ateles hybridus, una especie críticamente amenazada con la extinción.
El principal objetivo de este estudio es el de comparar las estrategias ecológicas y sociales de los primates en ecosistemas intervenidos por el hombre para comparar los resultados con otros estudios en lugares menos intervenidos que venimos realizando en Colombia y Ecuador. Los resultados de estos trabajos servirán como base científica para diseñar proyectos y estrategias de conservación para los primates del Magdalena Medio y los ecosistemas en donde aun habitan.
Estamos buscando personas con conocimientos básicos en biología, ecología y/o conservación, y con un gran interés en aportar con su trabajo al proyecto de conservación de monos araña café y primates en Colombia. En especial estamos interesados en trabajar con estudiantes de últimos semestres de la carrera que quieran hacer su tesis en primatología, o jovenes investigadores que quieran ganar experiencia en investigación en este campo.
Las condiciones de trabajo de campo son físicamente exigentes y el terreno de las dos áreas de estudio es difícil. En particular, San Juan tiene una gran abundancia de mosquitos (todo al año) y algunas zonas se inundan en la estación de lluvias. Por otro lado Quinchas tiene un terreno muy escarpado. El trabajo de campo es además duro y esperamos trabajar con personas que estén dispuestas a trabajar 5 a seis días a la semana con largas jornadas (de 5:30 a 18:30) siguiendo los primates. Por lo tanto los interesados deben estar en buenas condiciones físicas y mentales. El trabajo que hacemos es exigente y creemos que solo puede ser llevado a cabo por personas con mucho interés y mucha motivación por este tipo de trabajo. Es una gran oportunidad para realizar un trabajo con varios de los primates mas amenazados de Colombia y del mundo. Durante este periodo habrán alrededor de 5 estudiantes trabajando con la misma comunidad de primates en preguntas de investigación asociadas a nuestro proyecto de conservación.
Los asistentes de campo estarán involucrados en diversas actividades que llevamos a cabo, entre ellas:
● Seguimientos de los grupos de primates que estudiamos y colectar datos
● Recorridos dos veces al mes de transectos fenológicos que nos permiten estudiar la oferta de frutos en el bosque
● Colección de muestras fecales para estudios de dispersión, genéticos y hormonales.
● Mapear y marcar los senderos del área de estudio
● Colección de muestras de vegetación de las plantas de las que se alimentan los primates.
● Pasar y organizar los datos colectados en las bases de datos del proyecto.
● Colaborar en los programas de educación ambiental que llevamos a cabo con comunidad local
Los asistentes de campo deben comprometerse a trabajar en este proyecto por un mínimo de 4 meses ya que el aprendizaje de los métodos, el area de estudio y los grupos de estudio toma tiempo.
El proyecto tiene fondos para cubrir los costos asociados con el alojamiento y la alimentacion durante el periodo de estudio. Ademas podemos cubrir los gastos de transporte de ida y regreso al área de estudio. Contamos con equipos y materiales necesarios para este trabajo. El proyecto NO cuenta en el momento con salarios para asistentes.
Posiciones ofrecidas:
- 3 estudiantes/voluntarios para empezar inmediatamente por un periodo de al menos 4 meses.
Esta convocatoria se vence tan pronto se llenen la posiciones aquí ofrecidas. Esta convocatoria está dirigida a estudiantes que quieran realizar su trabajo de grado y a jóvenes profesionales que quieran ganar experiencia en este tipo de trabajo.
Interesados enviar los siguientes documentos (via email):
- Hoja de vida
- Carta de Intención
- Una referencia profesional y/o académica que podrá ser contactada

Agency: US Fish and Wildlife Service, Innoko National Wildlife Refuge
Location: McGrath, Alaska
Job Description: Summer Internship Opportunity
Innoko National Wildlife Refuge
McGrath, Alaska
Innoko National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is looking for 6 volunteers to work as Biological Science Technicians during this (2012) summer field season. Volunteers will get a chance to work on projects including; moose browse abundance surveys, land cover map validation, intensive vegetation sampling in meadow-like habitats, and small mammal live trapping. You will also be provided valuable wildlife management / remote field safety training including; general aviation safety, aviation water ditching, motor boat operator certification, bear safety / awareness, using less-lethal deterrents for bears, and firearms training (note, not everyone will be required to carry a firearm, but everyone receives the training to be safer around firearms). First Aid/CPR training will be provided for those who do not have a current certification.
Those selected for these positions must be in Anchorage, Alaska by Sunday, May 13. Please expect these positions to end in late August or early September. For those whose schedule allows and are interested in assisting with computer data entry, camp close-up, etc. we may be able to extend this opportunity through September.
Each volunteer will be financially responsible for travel to Anchorage, Alaska and back to their point of origin. Innoko NWR will cover travel costs from Anchorage to McGrath and from McGrath back to Anchorage. Once in Anchorage, the refuge will provide a financial allowance for food and lodging. Volunteers will be required to stay in Anchorage for a few days to complete some of the aviation related safety training. Once in McGrath, all food and lodging will be provided. Volunteers can expect to stay in McGrath for a couple of weeks before departing for the refuge Field Camp. Once at Field Camp, all food, lodging and virtually all the field gear needed (right down to the hip boots and sleeping bag) will be provided. Field Camp is our year-round base of operations while on the refuge. There are cabins for sleeping, a combined sleeping/office/lab cabin, maintenance cabins, and a kitchen cabin.
Innoko NWR is headquartered in the small remote community of McGrath, Alaska. McGrath is accessible only by air, has a population of approximately 320 residents, and is located approximately 240 miles NNW of Anchorage, Alaska. The refuge is situated approximately 60 miles NW of McGrath and is accessible only by air. The refuge is very remote and isolated even by Alaska standards. This 3.85 million acre refuge has no communities, no roads, no trails, no air strips, no cell phone service, and no internet service within its boundary. (Imagine an area larger than Connecticut with no one living there, no roads, and no roads leading to the boundary.) Communication with the headquarters in McGrath is by 2-way radio and satellite phone. Due to the complexities in scheduling resupply flights, coordination among other projects, and space issues, please do not expect to be able to travel between the refuge and McGrath during the summer. Once you are on the refuge, plan on spending the rest of the summer there. Of course, emergency situations happen, and every effort is made to accommodate those situations.
Travel to the refuge is by float plane while most travel on the refuge is by open power boat (18-24 ). If travel by small plane or open boats is a concern, this is not the place for you. Both black bears and brown bears occur throughout the refuge. Also of concern are female moose in early summer with newborn calves. While there have only been three incidents in the 30 year history of the refuge requiring a bear be killed, applicants must be willing to use a firearm in order to protect their life or the lives of others in their crew. If this is a personal moral problem, then working on an Alaskan refuge is not for you.
Initial time spent at Field Camp is devoted to getting the camp up and running, assisting with servicing outboard motors, launching boats into the Innoko River, assembling camping gear, etc. During this time we will also be learning/practicing GPS navigation, practicing driving boats safely on the Innoko River, learning identification and classification of boreal habitats, learning how to record habitat data on pocket computers, and digital camera documentation standards. Crews will likely head down the Innoko River for a 4-6 week effort of classifying habitats and conducting an assessment of moose browse conditions. This work will be conducted from remote spike camps that will need to be relocated from time to time.
Following the habitat classification work, crews will return to Field Camp for a short break and to learn protocols for the next sampling efforts. One crew will conduct intensive vegetation transects (both point sampling and Daubenmier plots) in meadow-like habitats. Training will be provided in the sampling protocols as well as use of plant keys, plant presses, vegetation identification, and data entry standards. A second crew will conduct small mammal live trapping at 2 different locations. Training will be provided for all protocols of trap site set-up and setting traps; small mammal identification, handling, marking; study skin preparation; and data entry standards. Crews will likely be based out of remote spike camps for about 4 weeks. Due to the trapping protocol, those participating in the small mammal trapping project must be willing to work 10-11 consecutive days. All of the habitat classification / moose browse and intensive vegetation sampling work will be conducted during a normal 5-day work week.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wildlife Refuge System is America's only network of federal lands dedicated specifically to wildlife conservation. Alaskan refuges offer the opportunity to work in virtually unspoiled ecosystems. Innoko National Wildlife Refuge is the only refuge with parts of the Iditarod National Historic Trail running through it; and relics of the Gold Rush are still evident today if one looks closely.
Innoko NWR is located in what is known as Interior Alaska. The refuge has over 22,000 lakes and more than 7,100 miles of rivers, creeks, and sloughs running through it; the Yukon River forms the western boundary of the refuge. Innoko NWR was specifically created for the conservation of waterfowl, black bear, moose, and furbearers, as well as other species. Interior Alaska is also home to an extremely healthy mosquito population. Innoko NWR is situated in a large river basin surrounded by low (generally less than 1,000 ft), rolling hills. Lowland areas are dominated by wetland, muskeg, and black spruce bog habitats. Upland areas are dominated by spruce forests, deciduous forests, and mixed spruce-deciduous forests. Tundra areas are intermixed throughout the refuge. There are no clear-water streams on the refuge, however, the fishing for northern pike and whitefish (shee fish) can be world class. In addition, bird watching, photography and wildlife viewing opportunities abound.
Applicants must be willing to live and work in very remote and primitive camping conditions and be physically fit to walk through marshes, boreal forests, and tundra environments - all of which have poor footing. These positions are for the adventurous who want to be away from modern conveniences for the summer and have a strong desire to assist the refuge by conducting these biological research projects.
Please email a resume with references and contact information to: Christian_Eggleston@fws.gov by 10:00 a.m. AKST on March 19, 2012. For questions please contact Chris Eggleston, Deputy Refuge Manager at (907) 524-2023 or Toll Free 1-888-601-7970.

Travel to the refuge is by float plane while most travel on the refuge is by open power boat (18-24 ). If travel by small plane or open boats is a concern, this is not the place for you. Both black bears and brown bears occur throughout the refuge. Also of concern are female moose in early summer with newborn calves. While there have only been three incidents in the 30 year history of the refuge requiring a bear be killed, applicants must be willing to use a firearm in order to protect their life or the lives of others in their crew. If this is a personal moral problem, then working on an Alaskan refuge is not for you.
Initial time spent at Field Camp is devoted to getting the camp up and running, assisting with servicing outboard motors, launching boats into the Innoko River, assembling camping gear, etc. During this time we will also be learning/practicing GPS navigation, practicing driving boats safely on the Innoko River, learning identification and classification of boreal habitats, learning how to record habitat data on pocket computers, and digital camera documentation standards. Crews will likely head down the Innoko River for a 4-6 week effort of classifying habitats and conducting an assessment of moose browse conditions. This work will be conducted from remote spike camps that will need to be relocated from time to time.
Following the habitat classification work, crews will return to Field Camp for a short break and to learn protocols for the next sampling efforts. One crew will conduct intensive vegetation transects (both point sampling and Daubenmier plots) in meadow-like habitats. Training will be provided in the sampling protocols as well as use of plant keys, plant presses, vegetation identification, and data entry standards. A second crew will conduct small mammal live trapping at 2 different locations. Training will be provided for all protocols of trap site set-up and setting traps; small mammal identification, handling, marking; study skin preparation; and data entry standards. Crews will likely be based out of remote spike camps for about 4 weeks. Due to the trapping protocol, those participating in the small mammal trapping project must be willing to work 10-11 consecutive days. All of the habitat classification / moose browse and intensive vegetation sampling work will be conducted during a normal 5-day work week.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wildlife Refuge System is America's only network of federal lands dedicated specifically to wildlife conservation. Alaskan refuges offer the opportunity to work in virtually unspoiled ecosystems. Innoko National Wildlife Refuge is the only refuge with parts of the Iditarod National Historic Trail running through it; and relics of the Gold Rush are still evident today if one looks closely.
Innoko NWR is located in what is known as Interior Alaska. The refuge has over 22,000 lakes and more than 7,100 miles of rivers, creeks, and sloughs running through it; the Yukon River forms the western boundary of the refuge. Innoko NWR was specifically created for the conservation of waterfowl, black bear, moose, and furbearers, as well as other species. Interior Alaska is also home to an extremely healthy mosquito population. Innoko NWR is situated in a large river basin surrounded by low (generally less than 1,000 ft), rolling hills. Lowland areas are dominated by wetland, muskeg, and black spruce bog habitats. Upland areas are dominated by spruce forests, deciduous forests, and mixed spruce-deciduous forests. Tundra areas are intermixed throughout the refuge. There are no clear-water streams on the refuge, however, the fishing for northern pike and whitefish (shee fish) can be world class. In addition, bird watching, photography and wildlife viewing opportunities abound.
Applicants must be willing to live and work in very remote and primitive camping conditions and be physically fit to walk through marshes, boreal forests, and tundra environments - all of which have poor footing. These positions are for the adventurous who want to be away from modern conveniences for the summer and have a strong desire to assist the refuge by conducting these biological research projects.

Hiring Organization:Pacific Primate Sanctuary
Position Description:
This is truly a Sanctuary, a beautiful place for the right person. Responsibilities of an animal caretaker involve: providing daily care, enrichment, and nurturing to +/- 70 monkeys, administering medications, preparing food, cleaning enclosures, colony management, and maintaining the Sanctuary facility. Office assistance would include: record-keeping, data entry (Mac- Filemaker Pro, Excel, Word), preparing reports, and presenting literature reviews. After the initial training period, managerial duties would be added and more technical training will be available. Interns are given the opportunity to become primary animal caregivers. The position would require an average of 40 hours per week, including on call scheduling.
Qualifications/Experience:
We would welcome someone with a background in animal husbandry and an interest in animal welfare and conservation, who is a mature team player with respect for others. We need a good, clear communicator (written and spoken English) and coordinator. with a minimal personal agenda, who seeks mutual growth for all and is able to make a long term commitment to the primates and the staff. The position requires a self-starter, someone who is humble, compassionate, self-reliant, organized, professional, computer literate, open to learning, capable of problem solving and completing a task. Our resident Intern would need to be physically fit, with no communicable diseases or criminal record, who has a driver's license and would enjoy a rural lifestyle with simple amenities. A one year commitment to the Sanctuary is requested. Foreign citizens would need to secure their Visa and permits independently.
Salary/funding:
This is a volunteer position, although some paid work outside of the Sanctuary may be available weekly. Pacific Primate Sanctuary is a nonprofit organization (501(C)(3). Our staff is made up of 15 volunteer caretakers and a support system of veterinary and other professionals. Since the well-being of the monkeys is our primary focus, they are not on exhibit, the facility is not open to the public and they are not subjected to any medical research. As a result, our organization is not eligible for funding from any governmental agencies nor do we receive funds from admission, as would a public zoo. Therefore, we must rely solely upon donations from compassionate individuals and organizations. Our operating budget is extremely small. Financial independence for personal expenses (i.e. travel and medical needs) is required of our Interns. If you are considering the possibility of seeking grant support, supplementary funds for needs other than housing could be built into your budget.
Support provided for internship/volunteer positions (travel, meals, lodging):
We provide a fully furnished and equipped 24-foot Yurt or a 16-foot Yurt (a traditional round structure designed specifically for tropical living) and utilities. You would room with one of our current Interns who would be your primary instructor. Although we do not supply regular meals, many fruit trees and a site for growing vegetables are available.
The Yurt is adjacent to the Sanctuary on a large piece of rainforest property. Interns are trained by experienced members of our staff in all aspects of New World primate care (Callitrichidae, Cebus and Ateles). Observational research could be conducted on this colony of Marmosets,Tamarins, Capuchin, and Spider Monkeys in a naturalistic environment. Please visit our website for additional information.
Term of Appointment:
One Year Requested
Application Deadline:
Position Available in June 2012 and On-Going
Requeriments:
Letter of Intent in making application, Resume/CV, three Letters of Reference (from instructors, employers etc.), a copy of your TB clearance and general physical.

Agency: SEE Turtles
Job Description: SEE Turtles is a non-profit conservation tourism project that partners with sea turtle conservation organizations to promote responsible turtle watching. The project is part of Ocean Revolution, sponsored by The Ocean Foundation. For those who can brave long walks, late night shifts, insects, and occasional downpours, working with sea turtles can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. Volunteering on a sea turtle nesting beach is not a vacation; it is an opportunity to make a difference, participate in scientific research, and meet new people. Sea turtle conservation volunteering is hard work but the benefits include new experiences, lots of good exercise, learning a new language, and a good addition to a growing resume.
At most sea turtle projects, the work involves participating in nightly beach patrols, looking for nesting sea turtles and helping researchers collect data. SEE Turtles can connect you for free with an international sea turtle conservation project. We work with volunteer projects in Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Mexico.
Research Assistant positions are also available for those with some biology background or relevant experience. RA positions require a longer time commitment, usually 2 months or more. Once at the project site, housing and food are provided for RA's at no expense. If interested please check the Research Assistant box on the Volunteer Matching Form.
