2 . Dream job in the Antarctic includes counting penguins
Always wanted to count penguins in Antarctica? Well now you can, with the Penguin Watch project, launched today by Oxford University.
Penguins—globally loved, but under threat. Research shows that in some regions, penguin populations are in decline; but why? Click “get started” to begin monitoring penguins, and help us answer this question. With over 100 sites to explore, we need your help now more than ever!
Workers have to count penguins and other wildlife for the British Antarctic Survey, and a report is due by the end of employment. Other duties include managing the gift shop and the post office on behalf of the British Antarctic Territory Government. The post office says it gets about 80,000 pieces of mail a season.
According to the application, the successful candidate “will need to be physically and medically able to do the job.” Living conditions are “basic but comfortable,” but there is limited power and no running water or Internet access, which means “very minimal communication” to the outside world.
It’s not just for fun, though; the project has some important implications. With their findings, the researchers hope to detail the effects of climate change by analyzing data on timing of breeding, survival rate of chicks, and rate of predation on chicks.
For those interested below 35 years old, the application can be found here, with a deadline at 7:59 p. m. on August 25. International candidates can apply, but they must have the right to work in the United Kingdom and fluent in English, and those selected will have a week of training in Cambridge in October.
If you would like to support our work, we would be extremely grateful. Here are some ways you can get involved:
£50—Become a Penguin Pen Pal, and we will send you a postcard from our next field season in Antarctica.
£l50—Sponsor a Penguinologist, and receive a little pack of Penguin Watch goodies.

Five years ago, my father, who was in his forty, lost his job. At first, he was in low spirits and often gets drunk. One day, he read a story about Ren Zhengfei, which was greatly inspired him. He turned to a friend, with which help he set up a factory. In his factory waste materials were made full use to produce environmentally friendly packing bags. With these bags well receiving, his factory went smooth. Now, he has extra money because he often helps those in need. So far, he has donated as many as $10,000. How a great father I have!
