Description
Are you (or someone you know) interested in joining and helping to lead a talented and diverse bird team? Dallas Zoo has an opening for an Assistant Zoological Manager of Birds. We have a little of everything to offer for the right candidate, from the smallest of passerines up to much more sizable and sometimes “assertive” bird species all being cared for by a large team of experienced zoologists.
This is a “working” supervisory position in animal care, working closely with the Associate Curators and the Curator to lead a team of Zoologists, covering daily routines as assigned, and providing exceptional care to the species housed in a given section. The Assistant Zoological Manager assists in the daily operation of the department, management of animal husbandry programs, and maintenance of associated facilities. The Assistant Zoological Manager will serve as the primary contact and liaison for their assigned section in the absence of the Zoological Manager, and provide leadership to animal care staff.
Please see the link below for more details and to apply for the position, and email me with any questions at [email protected].
