Job Description

Job Title: Assistant Intern - Conservation Technology (Vietnam)
Reporting to: Meredith Palmer (Senior Conservation Technology Specialist); Stephanie O’Donnell (WILDLABS Community Manager); Minh Phuong Nguyen
Key Relationships: Key members of Vietnam team; WILDLABS Team at FFI and WWF; FFI Cambridge Conservation Technology Team

Purpose:

The internship will be with the WILDLABS Programme and FFI, and physically hosted in Hanoi with the FFI Vietnam Programme.

As the facilitator of the Southeast Asia regional conservation technology network, you will be tasked to identify knowledge gaps and barriers to conservation tech use, create content and resources to engage and support the conservation tech community, and plan and coordinate a product (such as ‘best practices’ documentation or technology guides) or event (such as networking and knowledge exchange workshops or a virtual lecture series) to facilitate knowledge exchange between regional conservation and technology actors, and the global conservation technology community.

As a result of engaging in these activities, you will work hand-in-hand with key stakeholders in the conservation technology realm, including NGOs, wildlife practitioners, technologists, and donors. You will receive foundational training in community building, fundraising, and communication as well as strengthening your understanding of current and emerging conservation tools. Critically, you will establish yourself as a trusted knowledge broker about local conservation tech and become a central figure leading and guiding the development of WILDLABS’ new regional hub.

These baseline activities are essential to developing regional conservation technology centres, creating an invaluable resource for local practitioners looking to further their conservation effect and a furthering WILDLABS’ and FFI’s regional and global impact.
