ZCP is looking for someone competent in the field who loves dirty, 
tiring fieldwork and is happy to get up at 4 am to follow carnivores for 
3 days straight in 40 degree heat and 80% humidity. From talking to 
Jason and Norman, it seems like these people are hard to come by, but if 
you know of any recent grads or young colleagues elsewhere who might fit 
the bill, please send our way. Zambia has magnificent wildlife, it is a 
breathtakingly beautiful country, and we are so privileged in where 
we're able to go and what we're able to do with our research. For 
someone who loves the bush, this is really a great opportunity.

Thanks so much for your time and if you think of anyone who might be 
appropriate, please can you forward the below? I can also send some of 
our reports / publications if candidates are interested.

Have a wonderful day.
Elizabeth
