With the rapid expansion of H4H there is an exciting opportunity for a PhD candidate to investigate the individual and community level benefits and perspectives of this program. The candidate will have the opportunity to travel to several African H4H sites (eg. South Africa’s greater Kruger National Park region, Mozambique’s Limpopo National Park, and Zambia’s Simalaha Community Conservancy) and perform fieldwork with a myriad of human communities (including face to face interviews, and participatory group discussions). This PhD is a partnership between the H4H program of Conservation International, Peace Parks Foundation, and Dr Duan Biggs. The PhD will be based at Dr Duan Biggs’ growing applied research group at Northern Arizona University. More information on Dr Biggs’ research group can be found at: ResilientConservation.org
