The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) is accepting applications from early-career conservation biologists to become Evolutionarily Distinct & Globally Endangered (EDGE) fellows for the year 2014. The fellowship program is designed to provide structured training to early-career conservation biologists to undertake an applied research or conservation project on a local EDGE species.
The fellows receive a grant of up to £10,000, get an opportunity to attend two regional training courses; undertake online modules in relevant topics; and receive one-to-one support from a scientific advisor based at ZSL or a partner organization.
Eligibility Criteria –
Applicants must be an early-career conservation biologist or wildlife manager (less than 10 years experience).
Application from areas where conservation capacity is most needed and where support is most likely to have a large impact- the developing countries are selected for funding.
Applicants must be a national and resident of the country in which the proposed focal species occurs.
Applicants must focus their work on a mammal, amphibian or coral EDGE or ED-DD species.
Projects should fit into the following categories – applied research and conservation planning; and implementation of recommended conservation actions.
