About The Role

Work independently and asynchronously — on your schedule, at your pace
Who You Are
3+ years of experience in wildlife biology, ecology, habitat conservation, or a closely related field
Strong working knowledge of biodiversity principles and ecosystem management

Nice to Have
Graduate degree in Ecology, Wildlife Biology, Conservation Science, or a related discipline
Hands-on field research or conservation program experience
