The Capuchinos de Taboga research project is functional today because of the efforts put in by all our staff, researchers, and local collaborators (mainly, UTN). We are here because we all share a mutual interest – to study the behavior and ecology of the capuchins living in the Taboga Forest. This field site is a workplace where people from diverse backgrounds live and work together closely. We are all committed to creating a safe, inclusive environment at this research site and welcome all aspiring researchers including members of visible minorities, racialized groups, and LGBTQ+ communities.
Working at Capuchinos de Taboga can be both rewarding and challenging. Our team works full days (~ 8 to 10 hours) outdoors in hot, humid conditions, on sometimes steep terrain and through brushy forest. Assistants must also be comfortable living and working closely with others. We think the beauty of the forest, the diversity of wildlife, and the opportunity to live with a diverse international team of biology nerds is well worth it!
Still interested? Our project recruits about 3 assistants each year to live and work with us in Costa Rica. Keep an eye out for our advertisements on the Primate Info Net and Animal Behavior Society websites. We are looking for enthusiastic, fun-loving, biologists who are looking for extensive time outdoors and field experience in behavioral biology of primates and can make a one-year (or longer) commitment. If you can stand the heat and humidity, this is a great project for getting experience for graduate school in behavioral ecology and evolution.
We currently are not looking for team members, but please check back every few months! We would love to see your application!
