Mongabay interviewed two study co-authors Jane Lucas, who is now doing a postdoc at the University of Idaho, and Evan Gora, who is now doing a postdoc at the University of Louisville, to hear *what they learned about the conservation job market from their recent study in Conservation Biology* ,
https://news.mongabay.com/2018/06/not-all-doom-and-gloom-qa-with-conservation-job-market-researchers/ ...the pair attempted to uncover some concrete data on the hard-to-quantify conservation job market in an effort to help students prepare themselves for the competitive hunt for paid employment. With all the unpaid internships, a prevalence of short-term work, high student-loan debt...young conservationists are reporting a tough time in the job market. So, we hope this provides jobseekers some good advice and support. *Please share with your students, friends, colleagues especially if they're looking for a great job in conservation.* Erik -- www.erikhoffner.com
