About The Position
Utah's Hogle Zoo is currently accepting applications for up to two full-time Wildlife Ecology/Biology interns based in the Conservation Department. The Wildlife Ecology/Biology Intern will assist with the Zoo's research and conservation programs for imperiled native Utah species, notably the Western boreal toad (Anaxyrus boreas boreas) and other amphibians. Data collected through this program contribute to the management and recovery of these species, in collaboration with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and other partners. This internship primarily involves fieldwork within Utah's mountain ranges. Other fieldwork may include wildlife monitoring along the Jordan River corridor and Wasatch Front using trail cameras and acoustic monitors. Conservation interns will engage with Zoo guests and volunteers, as well as community scientists. They will help increase awareness about the Zoo's conservation programs and impact, participate in and support conservation events and communications sponsored by the Zoo and its partners, and assist with other activities as needed. Because conservation is an interdisciplinary field, this internship aims to expose interns to both the ecological and social aspects of wildlife conservation.
