Dear Colleagues, Thanks to all who responded to my recent post asking for suggestions on finding field biology work in Australia and New Zealand.
Many advised that contacting university department heads and individual researchers would be the best route for jobseekers. Several websites were also mentioned, some of which are for volunteer or non-research positions: http://www.conjobs.co.nz/ (New Zealand) http://www.unijobs.co.nz/ (New Zealand) http://www.arc.gov.au/ncgp/decra.htm (Australian ARC DECRA awards, 200 across all science, open to non-citizens) http://csiro.nga.net.au/cp/index.cfm?event=jobs.home (CSIRO, Australian gov't positions) Environmental jobs in Australia http://www.envirojobs.com.au/ Science jobs in Australia http://www.researchjobs.net.au/ Australian Wildlife Society http://www.australianwildlife.org/About-AWC/Employment.aspx http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/work/workingholiday/ http://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/jobs/index.asp www.cooeeads.com.au <http://www.doc.govt.nz/about-doc/jobs-at-doc/> New Zealand Government Jobs Online <http://www.jobs.govt.nz/ NEW ZEALAND JOB SEARCH <http://www.cvb.co.nz/jobs> NRMjobs <http://www.nrmjobs.com.au/> NZ Ecological Society http://www.nzes.org.nz/Ecology-jobs WWF AUSTRALIA <http://wwf.org.au/about/jobs/> Plant & Food http://www.plantandfood.co.nz/page/about-us/contact/join-science/ WWF NEW ZEALAND <http://www.wwf.org.nz/about_us/vacancies/> Landcare Research http://www.bfound.net/login.aspx?CoId=370 http://www.doc.govt.nz/about-doc/jobs-at-doc/current-vacancies/ http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/jcu_volunteers/ Hope this will prove helpful to others looking for experience in the area.
