Field Assistant for Guinea Baboon Research in Senegal
German Primate Center at Goettingen; application deadline: not specified
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Cognitive Ethology Laboratory of the German Primate Center at Goettingen runs a
research station in the Niokolo Koba National Park in Senegal, the Centre de Recherche de
Primatologie Simenti (www.cog-ethol.de). To help with the data collection and the running of
the project we are looking for a highly motivated field assistant for a period of six months,
starting in July 2010. We cover travel costs (reimbursement after completion of stay), medical
insurance, necessary examinations and vaccinations as well as malaria prophylaxis. The
monthly salary is Euro 400 net, plus benefits.
Preference is given to applicants with experience of living and working under harsh
conditions. Basic knowledge of French is essential, an interest in cultural exchange highly
recommended. It would be helpful if the candidate had some experience with studies of
animal behavior, but this is not a requirement. After some initial training period, we expect
the candidate to collect GPS ranging data, record vocalizations, and contribute to the
habituation of further animals. In addition, the candidate is required to contribute to the
running of the project (repairs etc.). The position is open until a suitable candidate is found.
Applicants should send a brief letter of motivation, a CV and addresses of two references via
email to:
