About the Role & Team

Since its inception, the Walt Disney Company has worked to connect people with animals and the natural world and inspire them to take action to ensure wildlife thrives and that nature is treasured and protected. Walt Disney once said, “Facts can be as fascinating as fiction, truth as beguiling as myth, and [we] have opened the eyes of young and old to the beauties of the outdoor world and aroused their desire to conserve priceless natural assets.” Today, that legacy is carried on by Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment and Disney Conservation. Together, these teams leverage science, collaboration and engagement to inspire action and care for animals and nature locally on Disney properties, in the communities that surround them, and globally through partnerships with hundreds of nonprofit organizations.

Join us as part of a dynamic team and science-based culture where our mission is to Lead The Walt Disney Company to Care for animals and the environment, Connect people to nature and Conserve our natural resources. This hourly role is an integral part of the Conservation and Science teams.

The Conservation and Science Technician (CT) will support, assist and provide technical expertise to implement animal care and conservation programs, science-based practice, novel research, and outreach at Walt Disney’s Parks & Resorts.  Each Conservation and Science Technician position will specialize in either 1) physiology and environmental monitoring, 2) behavioral husbandry, 3) animal behavior science, 4) marine or terrestrial conservation and science or 5) conservation and science engagement and behavior change. However, we work as one multidisciplinary team to address dynamic needs where they arise across disciplines. The animal behavior technician (CT) specifically contributes to the collection, interpretation, summarization and publication of animal behavior data to support animal husbandry, health, welfare and conservation. Scientific methods are primarily used in an applied manner but at times can take a more hypothesis/classic research driven approach.
