Volunteer or research assistant

Name: Susanna Primavesi

Location: Queensland

About me: I’m an Italian biologist who has always been passionate about the marine environment and internal freshwater habitats. I'm longing for a position working with natural environments, preserving the biodiversity and ecosystems, ideally as part of a research team. My academic path and work experience have focused on obtaining the necessary abilities to achieve these goals. I'm proficient in fieldwork and also underwater, thanks to my advanced scuba diving ticket and my experience in Australia. I also take underwater photos. I'm seeking to make my first steps toward becoming a scientific researcher. If you're interested, I'll send you my CV and references.

Seabird research - field technician assistant

Name: Clara Morey

Location: Australia

About me: I'm a Spanish biologist from Sevilla University in Spain. I have a Bachelor of Science (Marine Ecology), undertaken at Spanish and French universities and I have been involved in different research projects related to wildlife (particularly seabirds), principally conducted in the overseas territories of France, but also in other countries such as Chile.

I have been principally working as a fieldwork technician focusing on avifauna population dynamics (monitoring seabird breeding colonies, particularly gannets, petrels, penguins and albatross) and collaborating in studies on migration and foraging movement through GPS, GLS, and UvaBITS in different species of seabirds and shorebirds.

Currently living in Australia, I’m looking forward to collaborating in wildlife research and conservation. If you have any positions available (paid or volunteering) on seabird research, please let me know.

Marine biologist and divemaster

Name: Joana Almeida

Location: Brisbane

About me: I’m a marine biologist (master’s level) and divemaster who has recently moved to Brisbane from Cairns. I have been volunteering at JCU Cairns for a few months helping a PhD student on a seagrass project. I also volunteered as a diver for Reef Restoration Foundation and was working full time at Cairns Aquarium as an aquarist and presenter.

I am reaching out in the hopes of developing my lab/field skills in any volunteer/casual projects you may have going on now or in the near future. I’m fully available and always excited to help out and learn new skills.

I’m happy to provide my CV.
