OTS SA has expanded substantially, and the course has been split into two semesters that run in parallel. Although the courses still travel extensively, we have a group of academics based in Skukuza and another in the Cape, in Cape Town. We are looking to fill a post for the north portion of the courses, in the Kruger Park. I wonder if I might impose on your extensive networks to advertise the post? We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with an aptitude for field based, experiential learning/teaching. You might also perhaps know of someone who has recently graduated, looking for an academic opportunity? The closing date for the job search is 20 July 2015, and we will interview soon after. Many many thanks Laurence Laurence Kruger Laurence Kruger, PhD Director, OTS SA Programmes University of Cape Town P.O. Box 33 Skukuza 1350 +27 824226225 www.tropicalstudies.org Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn?t serve the world. There?s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won?t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It?s not just in some of us, it?s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Nelson Mandela (quoting Marianne Williamson) This communication is intended for the addressee only.

Best regards Joshua ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have recently turned down a job offer for personal reasons but knowing the talent that exists within the School of APES I thought I would pass the offer on. The CEO has given me permission to do so. I am not at liberty to send the entire job description out but the role is as follows: Meru Campus, eZemvelo Nature Reserve Knowledge Co-ordinator Job purpose: This is a multi-faceted portfolio role in the Ezemvelo MERU eco-campus requiring an individual who is passionate about nature, conservation, climate change issues, education and knowledge dissemination, and able to work with guests, students, fellow staff, learners, and researchers equally well in a positive and uplifting manner. The role is complex and includes a role in conservation on the reserve, guiding, lecturing, assessing learners, assigning students to various roles on the reserve. Over and above that there is a requirement to liaise with schools, develop school programmes and co-ordinate school visits and run social-media platforms for the campus. Requirements: - Hons Degree in Ecology/Environmental Sciences/Nature Conservation - FGASA Level 1 certificate will be an advantage - First Aid Level 1 will be an advantage - May be required to attain a PDP at the cost of the employer - Should be truly passionate about the natural environment and inspiring others to develop an interest - Sense of innovation, ownership and pride - Teaching experience will be beneficial - Good planning and organisation skills - Excellent communication skills - Can manage staff and students - Is willing to engage in transcendental meditation twice daily - Preference will be given to candidates younger than 30 - Indefatigable positivity and optimism NB: Housing is provided on the reserve, located 2 hrs from Johannesburg and normal 20 days leave/annum will be given. As such, candidates will have to be comfortable with living on the reserve on their own for extended periods of time. Remuneration will be discussed with those interested and includes accommodation. This is an opportunity to build something almost from scratch and to work on an expansive reserve but will involve quite significant lifestyle adjustments. If anyone is interested please get hold of me via email at jaws.lbw at gmail.com. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
