VACANCIES

From time to time, our members and associated conservation groups ask us to help them promote job vacancies. Please note that the vacancies listed below are for specialist staff with a high level of experience and knowledge. If you are interested in working at a zoo, EAZA recommends volunteering opportunities at your local EAZA member as a first step to getting the skills you need.

Vacancies from EAZA members or members of another Regional Association are published online free of charge until the position is filled. Non-EAZA members and affiliated institutions are required to pay a vacancy placement fee. 

Information about fees and instructions on how to submit a vacancy can be found in Vacancy submission and pricing scheme.

Please email info@eaza.net with your vacancy details or if you have any questions.
