Why should I post to the Conservation Job Board?

The Conservation Job Board offers employers a highly targeted approach for reaching thousands of job seekers in conservation and related fields such as ecology, wildlife, forestry, botany, marine biology, fisheries, environmental ed, outdoor recreation, park management, ecotourism, and more.

In addition, all new postings are also sent out to our Job Alert email subscribers.

What is the difference between a Featured Listing and a Standard Listing?

The Conservation Job Board offers two ways to post your job depending on your budget:

Standard Listings are posted to the Job Board for 60 days and are sent out to Job Alert subscribers.

Featured Listings receive on average 2 x more views by job seekers because they are posted in the Featured Sections of the site including the top of page 1. Featured Listings are also posted for 60 days and are sent to Job Alert subscribers.

What types of job postings do you accept?

We accept postings for jobs (i.e. paid positions), internships, graduate assistantships, and volunteer opportunities. All postings must be related to conservation. For the purposes of this site, conservation includes any field involving the protection, restoration, sustainable use, or scientific study of nature.  This includes but is not limited to jobs in the fields of ecology, forestry, wildlife management, fisheries, marine science, restoration, wetland science, environmental education, environmental policy, land trusts, park management, and ecotourism.

Do you offer free job postings?

As a service to the conservation community, we allow non-profits to post 1 General Listing for free per month with a 15-day limit on the posting length. These free listings are non-renewable and are listed on the site for 15 days (as opposed to 60 days for Paid Listings). Internships, volunteer, and graduate positions are not subject to the monthly limit of 1 posting.

Do you accept postings for positions outside of the United States?

Currently the Conservation Job Board does not accept posting for positions located outside of the United States. However, we hope to begin accepting postings from other countries soon.

How will charges appear on my credit card statement?

For paid listings, charges will appear on your credit card statement as “Conservation Job Board.”

Where is my receipt?

For paid listings, after you have submitted your credit card and billing information, a receipt will be sent to the email address you provided under the section “Job Poster Information.”

Sometimes receipts end up in your “junk” or “spam” folder. However if it’s not there, you can contact Conservation Job Board and they will send you another copy.

Why hasn’t my job appeared in the job listings yet?

Postings appear on the site after they have been reviewed by the site administrator. This usually occurs with 2 hours of posting.

Will my information as the job poster be published anywhere?

No, the “Job Poster Information” section is for record-keeping only. Only the “Apply to” fields are published with the listing, if provided. For more information, please consult our privacy policy.

Can I edit my job listing?

For both paid and free listings, you will receive a confirmation email which will contain an edit link. Just follow the link to edit your listing. After you complete your edit(s), we will show you a preview of the job listing with your edits, but your changes are not saved until you hit the “Save” button on the preview page.

How do I close or delete a job listing?

Your posting will appear in the site results for 60 days. You can delete your posting earlier by clicking the “Edit” link the confirmation email you receive after posting and then clicking on “Delete Listing” on the following screen.
