Research Assistant positions for 2018 are now available at Centro ReVerde, a research station in Puerto Maldonado focused on strengthening our knowledge of silvopastoral systems in the Peruvian Amazon of Madre de Dios, Peru. Researchers are welcome to either participate in ongoing research into silvopastoral systems or carry out their own research project. The main research activities for 2018 will focus on tree inventories, experimental removal of plant material, productivity of grass, carbon assessments, maintenance of the tree seedling nursery, and insect collections. Assistants should be aware of the physical nature of the position and able to work in the hot and humid conditions of the Amazon rainforest. Assistants should aim to come for a minimum of one calendar month this year, preference given to those able to stay longer. Shared accommodation with good internet/electricity/running water/ducks provided at km 7 from the city of Puerto Maldonado. Fantastic opportunity to get into the Peruvian Amazon and a good base from which to explore the rainforest!
