Description

The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International (DFGFI) is seeking a full-time scientist with a background in ecology, conservation biology, primatology, or equivalent, to lead biological research at our field site in the Nkuba Conservation Area (NCA), a community forest reserve in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
