Job Description:
We are looking for a field assistant for our conservation project investigating habitat quality and biodiversity in South Negros, the Philippines. This study aims to carry out systematic monitoring of the wildlife in this region. We will undertake habitat assessments for priority species, including the crab-eating macaque, the bleeding heart dove, the Visayan warty pig, and the Tarictic hornbill. Data collection will consist of line transect, bioacoustics playback, Shannon index of biodiversity and threat analysis in the Barangay of Mantiquel (Negros, Philippines). This conservation project is led by the Bristol Zoological Society and the local NGO PENAGMANNAKI. The work of the field assistant will include a training period of 1 week and data collection over a period of 8 weeks. This position also involves data entry and helping an MSc student with data collection. The project is supervised by Dr. Daphne Kerhoas (project manager), and Dr. Grainne McCabe (head of field
conservation and science), Bristol Zoological Society, Bristol (United Kingdom).

given to applicants with successful experience undertaking surveys of
wildlife. The experience of working in tropical conditions demanding

Support (travel, meals, lodging):
All costs will be covered including international and national flight
(upon successful completion of the position); meals; lodging, which will
be rudimentary, consisting of a tent on a raised platform.
Term of Appointment:
A 9 weeks commitment is required, namely from July 5th, 2017 to
September 13th, 2017. However, the specific dates may be subject to
change.
Application Deadline:
Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

I have a suggestion about your blog: can you please add the date to your post? And, if possible, also the date in which the job position was advertised on the original source. To know if is still worth it to send the application or this is an old call. Thank you
Hi GH, thanks for the feedback! I'm using some blogger template that removed the date stamp from the code for some silly SEO reason. I have been wanting to fix it, but the 30 min blocks I have alloted to this so far have been insufficient. I think I need either a whole day of html/css tweaking, or someone to help me! (anyone reading? :D).
Usually I publish the deadline of the call, but some, like this one, say the position is open until filled (they give you the dates for the job, though "from July 5th, 2017 to September 13th, 2017.")
I'll try to source the original post date when possible, but sometimes there is no time for research! Google is your friend then ;-)
