Volunteering in Primatology

For up-to-date postings of available volunteer and internship positions, we recommend checking Primate Info Net. You can also follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook where we post primate jobs and volunteering posts under #primatepositions.  

Please also view the International Directory of Primatology for further links.

If you are aware of any opportunities which you would like us to disseminate to PSGB members, please contact the PSGB Media Officer ([email protected]).

Please also have a read of this article prior to volunteering to ensure you are equipped with the right information and mindset: Fournier, A. M. V. and Bond, A. 2015. Volunteer Field Technicians are Bad for Wildlife Ecology, Wildlife Society Bulletin, DOI: 10.1002/wsb.603.
