Seasonal Presenters – Zoo Live team

 

£10.08 per hour, inclusive of allowances

 

At ZSL London Zoo, we receive over a million visitors every year, many of whom are families, children and school groups. We are looking for Presenters to enthrall, engage and interact with our key audiences through our fantastic range of live events for 2013.

 

We are passionate about our animals and you will have a talent for inspiring that same passion in our visitors. You will use your advanced communications skills to engage visitors in one-to-one discussions, lead groups in interactive workshops, or give talks to large audiences of all ages.

 

We understand that our visitors can be as varied as the amazing animals we have at ZSL and our Presenters are just as confident interacting with our youngest first time visitors as with our lifetime supporters.

 

You will receive full support to learn new material and develop your presenting style. Experience of working with children is essential, ideally in an informal learning context.

 

Part time Seasonal work is available from early March until the beginning of September 2013.  Applicants will need to be flexible as weekend working is required.

 

Please send your CV with a covering letter outlining your suitability to: HR Department, Zoological Society of London, Regent’s Park, London NW1 4RY or email hr@zsl.org 

 

Interviews will take place on: 12^th February 2013

 

Closing date for applications:  30th January 2013

Postdoctoral Research Fellowships

Postdoctoral Research Fellowships

Starting salary £33,461 p.a. (including London Weighting)

The Institute of Zoology is a HEFCE funded research institute, affiliated to University College London and is the research and teaching division of the Zoological Society of London, based in two buildings at Regent’s Park.

Applications are invited for up to three postdoctoral research fellowships, each available from 1 February 2012. These are four-year fixed-term appointments for outstanding early career researchers to undertake a programme of independent research within the Institute of Zoology’s current research themes (www.zsl.org/science/research). Applications are particularly encouraged in the area of conservation genomics but applicants wishing to work on other topics relevant to the Institute's research will also be considered.

The primary criterion for appointment is scientific excellence, although projects with an applied component that links to the conservation work of ZSL will also be encouraged as long they also fulfil the primary criterion. Successful candidates may also occasionally be requested to undertake tasks relating to the wider conservation and educational roles of ZSL, as required.

Candidates must be within 5 years of completing a PhD on the closing date for applications, and should be able to demonstrate their potential to develop a successful independent research programme (with associated funding) in the appropriate field. Applications should include a covering letter (stating preferred research theme within the Institute), curriculum vitae, an outline of the research they would develop over the course of the Fellowship (maximum 1 side of A4, Arial 11 point font), and the names and full contact details of three referees (including the candidate's Ph.D. supervisor). For informal enquiries, contact the senior researcher identified within each specified area on the website, or the Director of the Institute of Zoology ( tim.blackburn@ioz.ac.uk ).

Applications should be sent to hr@zsl.org or by post to the Human Resources Department, ZSL, Regent’s Park, London, NW1 4RY.

Closing date: Sunday 20th November 2011
