A volunteer is required for a period of 12 months to help undertake a

South Africa. This project has been set up by Cambridge and Zurich
University and is based at the Kalahari Meerkat Project, a world-renowned
research station. ****

Successful applicants must have an interest in field work and previous
experience working in challenging environments and with wild animals. The

collection of weights and observational data. There is also an opportunity
for the applicant to undertake a small research project on the squirrels. **

Volunteers are provided with accommodation and paid a monthly allowance to
cover their food. A return flight to South Africa and insurance will have
to be organised and funded by the applicant, but costs for internal travel
by bus (Johannesburg to Upington) will be reimbursed, you will be collected
from Upington and taken to the study site. ****
If you are interested in this position, please send a CV and a short letter
stating your motivation to apply, and two names acting as referees to:
