Notification of intent to employ Wildlife Field Rangers and Supervisors to manage baboons in and around Cape Town

We are looking for approximately 30 graduates with at least three year degrees in the biological sciences or diplomas in nature conservation to help manage baboons in Cape Town. Persons with extensive experience and a track record for working in the bush will also be considered.  The primary objective of the work will be to prevent baboons from moving beyond the boundaries of the Table Mountain National Park and into the surrounding urban areas of Cape Town.  The work will require an extensive amount of radio tracking to determine where the baboons are and where they are going.  Baboons seen to be heading towards town will be met and challenged with various tools including paintball guns.   A good knowledge of baboon behaviour and animal territoriality will be an advantage.   Applicants will need to be able to deal with the public, be good at field work, and able to assist in data collection for research.   Salary is negotiable and will depend on qualifications and experience.  Permanent and temporary (at least 3 months) posts will be available and applicants will be required to start on 1 July 2012.  This is a provisional notification because the contract for baboon management is under tender and the award will only be made towards the end of May 2012. 

Please send CV’s with contactable references to Dr Philip Richardson at philip.awf@icon.co.za or Fax 086-241 6085 or call 082-337 2213.

MATCH Teacher Residency

ATTENTION--SENIORS AND RECENT GRADS:

Do you want to be an unusually effective first year teacher in a high-poverty charter school?

If so, you should consider MATCH Teacher Residency--an innovative, one-year teacher residency program.

Basically, we give recent college graduates one year of intense training. We then help them find positions in high-need schools, and continue to support them as they begin their careers in the classroom.

What sets MTR apart from other teacher prep programs? 1) We’re prescriptive, like a sports coach or piano teacher; you learn and practice very specific “Teacher Moves.” 2) Trainees are specifically being prepared to teach in certain charter schools with a track record of “turning around” low-performing kids. 3) We have a very particular approach, which involves building relationships 1-on-1 with kids and parents, then using those relationships to run a tight ship in class, enforcing rules consistently, and pushing/demanding a LOT from our kids.

MTR is no different from the MATCH Corps (our full-time tutoring program) from Monday to Thursday. However, unlike MATCH Corps, MTRs want to go on to become full-time teachers in high-poverty, “No Excuses” charter schools. So on Fridays and Saturdays, MTRs learn about the nuts and bolts of teaching, do tons of practice, and get a lot of coaching.

We’re especially proud of our brand new elementary school, MATCH Community Day, which specifically serves students who speak a language other than English at home.  MATCH Teacher Residents have the option to serve at MATCH Community Day, or our previously established High School or Middle School.  For more information on MATCH Community Day, have a look at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGUV8Jbeu-c
