We are supporting the Wild Bird Trust of BC in an ecological assessment project and I wanted to share an open position with your network if possible. We are looking for a short-term researcher to work with us and the team at the Wild Bird Trust of BC on research looking at the Implications of First Nations Eco-Tourism Infrastructure in a Wildlife Sanctuary.
I’ve attached the job description. Would it be possible to share through your channels? I believe it can be of interest to students.
Thank you in advance!
