Tsaobis Baboon Project Volunteer Fieldwork Position

Tsaobis Baboon Project – Volunteer Field Assistants

The Tsaobis Baboon Project is a long-term study of desert baboons in Namibia.  Based at the Institute of Zoology (the research arm of the Zoological Society of London), and affiliated with the Gobabeb Research and Training Centre (Namibia), our aim is to carry out fundamental research in behavioural ecology and population ecology, and to inform conservation policy and practice for social species.

We are seeking to appoint four 3-month volunteer fieldworker positions between 1 July and 30 September 2015. The fieldwork will primarily involve daily follows of baboon troops on foot, collecting behavioural data from individually recognisable animals and their associated ecological conditions. Further information about the Tsaobis Baboon Project, the volunteer fieldworker positions, and the application procedure can be found on the Project’s webpages:
