This project is looking for a volunteer field assistant to help with ongoing research on the ecology of southern woolly lemurs. The study site is home to five species of lemur: the collared brown lemur, brown mouse lemur, fat-tailed dwarf lemur, greater dwarf lemur, and the southern woolly lemur. The volunteer research assistant will work alongside a small team of field biologists and local guides. The project is scheduled to run from mid-November 2013 to mid-March 2014. There is no specific deadline and applications will be accepted until positions are filled.
Basic housing will be available at certain study sites, but applicants should anticipate long periods of camping and should be able to provide their own tent. Whilst in the bush meals will be prepared by a resident cook. Applicants should budget approx. £50 per month for food.
