Operation Wallacea is a network of academics from European and North American universities, who design and implement biodiversity and conservation management research programmes at 10 research sites worldwide.
We are currently recruiting for two camp managers for our forest research site in Honduras. Information on this site is available on our website.
Position one: Contract starts on 6th June and finishes on 29th July and requires a good level of Spanish as the camp operates within a local village.
Position two: Contract starts on 6th June and finishes on 29th July but requires a much more basic level of Spanish and experience and will be based within a forest camp.
Full or partial flight bursaries will be available depending on experience and onsite training will be provided at the beginning of both contracts.
Camp managers are responsible for the day to day running of field camps, including maintaining regular communications with the main base camp, ordering supplies and ensuring the science teams have the guides and equipment needed to run surveys. Applicants should have experience of working in the field, good communication and organisational skills and preferably a biological background.
In return, successful applicants receive full accommodation and food onsite, networking and skills development and of course the opportunity to contribute towards long-term conservation efforts.
