*Namibian Dolphin Project Volunteer Programme*

The Namibian Dolphin Project (NDP) are looking for volunteers from September 2017 to March 2018

The Volunteer Programme is aimed at students and recent graduates looking for long term placements (minimum 2 months) to develop analytical and field skills as part of an active research group based in Walvis Bay, Namibia.

Volunteers will be directly involved in the day to day running of the research station including data input and processing, public outreach and education. Volunteers will also be involved in ongoing field work including small-boat surveys, land-based surveys and tour boat surveys. Volunteers will also get the opportunity to partake in post mortem examinations of any stranded cetaceans or marine turtles. During their time with the NDP, volunteers are encouraged to develop their own research projects with a view to continuing these projects as part of their own studies.

Please send a letter of motivation and a CV to nam.dolphin.edu@gmail.com using the subject headline of “NDP Long term volunteer 2017/18”.

Please note that this is a purely volunteer position and that a contribution towards accommodation and food is requested from volunteers.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Kind regards

Namibian Dolphin Project Team
