Description |
The Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity (ACCB) was established in 2003 by Münster Zoo and the Zoological Society for the Conservation of Species and Populations (ZGAP). It is the first nature conservation centre in Cambodia, located on 25 hectares of land in Phnom Kulen National Park at the trailhead for the historic site of Kbal Spean, about 50 km north of Siem Reap. The goals of the ACCB include the rehabilitation of confiscated, mainly globally threatened wildlife and the conservation breeding of selected species, in combination with environmental education and capacity building for conservation and an expanding in-situ conservation and research programme. The animal stock at ACCB currently includes approximately 275 individuals from about 40 species of birds, mammals, and reptiles.
For additional information regarding the project please familiarize yourself further at our website www.accb-cambodia.org, and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ACCBCambodia.
The ACCB is currently looking to fill its part-time Veterinarian position. This is a challenging but rewarding position for a highly dedicated and motivated individual with a keen interest in making a contribution to conservation. As the current animal stock does not require a full-time veterinarian, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to either conduct relevant research on site, or pursue other part-time work in close proximity to ACCB including Siem Reap. In addition, he/she will have to be prepared to support a variety of other activities at ACCB as required, such as helping in general animal husbandry, education, maintenance, administration, participation in special events, or fundraising. The Veterinarian reports to the Project Manager.
Main Duties and Responsibilities The Veterinarian is responsible for animal health and well-being, in close collaboration with the Curator and animal keeping team. The Veterinarian is supervised by the Project Manager.
