An incredibly exciting field site with algae fishing chimps - What’s not to love? Apply if you’re interested!

If journals can’t weed out fictional references, what on earth are they being paid hundreds of thousands from university libraries to do?! They don’t even review the papers themselves!

🌍✨ Still time to apply! The MBCP is looking for a Field Site Manager to join us in one of the most beautiful parks on the planet—work with an amazing team, semi-habituated chimps, and boost your project management chops for a career in #conservation or #research.

Hint: it has to do with female solidarity.

H! I'm Noah and I've just started my PhD at Deutsches Primatenzentrum studying chimps!
I'm looking at how climate change impacts their sociality, grouping patterns and intergroup activity.
Joined to follow research, connect with other primatologists, and share interesting papers!
