Irrawaddy Dolphin Research Assistants Needed
In September 2017, 'The Cambodian Marine Mammal Conservation Project' was established. The initiative was formed through a collaboration between two NGOs, Marine Conservation Cambodia, and the DMAD Marine Mammals Research Association. Now the project is working closely with the Dolphin and Development Division of Cambodia's Fisheries Administration. The project has an initial 18-month timeline, however it is likely a continued monitoring program will be established after this. The initial aim is to collect data on abundance, distribution and residency to delineate and protect critical habitats for the Irrawaddy dolphin in Cambodia's Kep Archipelago. The research team is in the field collecting behavioral data 4 times a week, with the rest of the time spent entering the findings, and turning these findings into reports and publications. There is also an education and outreach focus, trying to engage local scientists and the local community. The project is based within Marine Conservation Cambodia's headquarters, on the isalnd of Koh Ach Seh, in Cambodia's Kep Archipelago. Now, we are looking for enthusiastic, motivated and hard-working individuals to join our dolphin research team. The positions are ideal for students or post grads who wish to gain experience in the cetacean research field. The positions are unpaid and require a contribution fee of US$300/week to cover accommodation, food and diving. Spring and Summer placesare available. We are looking for interns who can commit 3 months to the project, however shorter durations may be considered for exceptional candidates. if interested, please send a cover letter and CV to cambodiadolphinproject@gmail.com. In your covering letter, please state the dates for which you wish to intern.
