As @RallidaeRule and @TheLabAndField make clear in their paper on unpaid wildlife field tech positions, these aren't just bad hiring practices because they're discriminatory, they're bad for the process of science. https://t.co/HAh5J6akN7

@asab_tweets hi there, please consider not sharing job ads for unpaid fieldwork (like the recent one for the meerkat project that went out on the ASAB mail list), which perpetuate inequities in science. See this paper for more context: https://t.co/QEmBa

Is volunteer fieldwork abusive? Some "unpaid labour" is being advertised as "volunteering". We should create clear guidelines for acceptable volunteering in sci, including time limits, no qualifications required, and no cost for volunteers. Thanks @ftmaest
@plant_ecology @aust_trop_herb I agree that in this (very particular) situation volunteer work is acceptable. It is not when it leads to a competitive advantage in the job market, as it contributes to perpetuate existing inequalities. Will stop this discus

How much would you be expecting to be paid as an assistant ranger? This is not an abnormal pay rate in the charitable conservation sector - it has always been a low pay sector. Its taken me 30 years to get to a reasonably comfortable financial state!
@capuchinPY But I do strongly believe that unpaid internships, and especially pay-to-work positions, are bad for wildlife and conservation science because they just do exclude people. See this great article by @RallidaeRule and @TheLabAndField. https://t.c

The number of funded projects that advertise unpaid ‘jobs’ on @evoldir every year. Often requiring applicants to be graduates. I have huge respect for the PIs that don’t do this but that should be an expectation, not an exception.
