Hi, I am Eli
An ecologist who learned it the hard way, so you do not have to
I studied biology and ecology at the University of Belgrade and went on to survey almost every group of animals in the field, across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and South America.
I broke into field work with no experience and no contacts, and won positions abroad from a standing start. Simply Ecologist is everything I wish someone had handed me at the beginning.
What I can help you with
- Getting real experience, even with none on your CV
- Finding a good ecology job or internship
- Applying well and getting the offer
- Learning new skills, from field methods to Python
