The State Department of Wildlife noted that it is implementing a five-year initiative under the Global Environment Fund (GEF) and Global Wildlife Programme (GWP).
As one of the executing agencies, it noted in an advertisement on its website that successful candidates will be offered two-year contracts.
The deadline to submit applications is Wednesday, September 10.
"Interested and qualified persons are required to make their applications by completing the PSC 2 (Revised 2016) application form. Duly completed application forms should be sent to the Principal Secretary, State Department for Wildlife, or emailed to: pswildlife2018@gmail.com," the advertisement states.
Why you should keep your CV short
Career development expert Simon Ingari advised job seekers to keep their CVs short (maximum two pages).
He noted that hiring managers skim through resumes during the recruitment process.
"Keep your CV concise. Aim for one or two pages. Recruiters skim, making it easy to read. Use clear fonts, bullet points, and structured sections for easy readability and highlight achievements," Ingari told TUKO.co.ke.
