Insect Biodiversity Research Opportunity in South Africa

5 days ago


Limpopo, South Africa Environmental Career Center Full time

Are you passionate about insects and eager to make a meaningful contribution to conservation research? The Bushveld Biodiversity Research Centre (BBRC) in South Africa is excited to announce two open positions for individuals or students who share a deep interest in insect biodiversity.

This unique opportunity offers the chance to:

  • Explore and document the insect species found across our 27,000-hectare reserve, a largely understudied area with enormous research potential.
  • Contribute to the creation of the first-ever insect species list for this vast and diverse property.
  • Work in an environment surrounded by incredible wildlife and untouched natural beauty.

This project is perfect for anyone who wants to gain hands-on research experience while helping uncover the hidden diversity of insect life in a region where no prior insect studies have been conducted.

Please note that a monthly conservation fee is required, which covers the following:

  • Conservation Fees: As you'll be staying on a wildlife reserve, a portion of your fee will go towards supporting the protection and care of the land and the species that inhabit it.

Comfortable accommodation will be provided during your stay.

  • Transportation: Pick-up from and drop-off at the Polokwane airport, weekly or bi-weekly town trips for students to restock supplies, and daily drives around the reserve.

This fee ensures that your experience contributes to both your well-being and the vital work of preserving the reserve.

Duration of Stay

You have the flexibility to choose the length of your stay. We recommend a commitment of 2 to 4 months to fully immerse yourself in the experience and make the most of the opportunities available. This duration allows for deeper engagement with the conservation work and a richer overall experience.

Application Details:

Submit your resume and a brief cover letter to research@bushveldbiodiversity.org

We eagerly look forward to welcoming passionate individuals to our team
