Camp Manager

Operation Wallacea is a network of academics from European and North American universities who design and implement biodiversity and conservation management research programmes across 10 countries worldwide.

We are currently recruiting camp managers to work at various locations across South & Central America, Africa, Europe & Asia. Positions will be from four to eight consecutive weeks between June and early August, and information on all our sites is available on the website.

Camp managers are responsible for the day-to-day running of field camps, including maintaining regular communications with the main base camp, ordering supplies and ensuring the science teams have the guides and equipment needed to run surveys. Applicants should have experience working in the field, good communication and organisational skills, and preferably a biological background. A basic understanding of Spanish is required for some sites.

In return, successful applicants receive full accommodation and food on-site, networking and skills development, travel bursaries for more experienced applicants, and of course, the opportunity to contribute towards long-term conservation efforts.

The positions will be filled as and when we find suitable candidates, so if you are interested, please apply as soon as you can to give yourself the best chance. The positions involve working with minors, so if successful, you will be asked to complete a background check.
