RESEARCH EXPERIENCE WANTED
We are a degreed couple looking for serious research experience focused
on the conservation of endangered or marginal species. We are available
for immediate short term or longer term work worldwide. Although we
prefer paid work, in the right situation and if accommodation is
provided, we would consider working for a stipend or on a volunteer
basis. We would bring with us a high level of commitment and different
but complementary skills and attributes.
One of us has a BS in ECOLOGY, which includes broad-based course work in
ecology and the environmental sciences. This person has the following
special attributes: advanced skills in radio communication, including
equipment design and maintenance; extensive mapping, map reading, and
radio direction finding experience; familiarity with several European
languages and willingness/ability to quickly learn more.
The other one has a Ph.D. in SOCIAL/CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY, with training
in all four subfields. This person has the following special attributes:
well-developed writing and editing skills; solid background in
ethnographic, archival, and legal research; experience in applied and
field based research in culturally diverse settings; skills in research
design and a range of methodologies; good communication and people
skills.
Both of us are computer literate, trained in basic statistics, skilled
photographers, experienced in wilderness environments, comfortable
living/working in cross-cultural and/or culturally sensitive contexts,
and willing to live and work in remote areas or under rustic conditions.
One of us has a strong interest in conservation biology and the other in
cultural and ecological tourism. Both of us are keenly interested in
environmental protection issues, both from an ecological and a cultural
perspective.
In summary, we are available immediately and are negotiable as to the
terms, duration, and location of employment. For further information
about us, or if you have anything to offer that is either directly or
tangentially related to the above, please e-mail us. Also, please
forward this message to anyone you feel may be interested.
