Animal Behavior Society's News and Announcments |
Check it out! A pair of barn owls has an active nest in a tree at a National Audubon Society sanctuary in California. There is a webcam, with audio, that streams 24/7. They laid 7 eggs, and the first hatched today. You can watch the mother attend to the clutch, and the male bring meal after meal at night. An amazing opportunity to watch the development of this clutch, until they fledge 6-7 weeks later. |
We are looking for up to 4 volunteers to assist with fieldwork beginning April 07, 2010. End date is negotiable, but preference will be given to applicants who can stay until Aug 15, 2010. The project investigates the evolutionary ecology of Columbian ground squirrels. As a member of the study, assistants will be involved with monitoring the phenology (when animals emerge from hibernation), reproduction and survival of individuals. Fieldwork will involve live-trapping and handling of animals, behavioural observation and assistance with the measurement of physiological (metabolism) traits on free-ranging animals. This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience working with a collaborative research team on a long-term study of a wild mammal. Opportunities exist for side-projects for interested and motivated applicants. All fieldwork is carried out in the spectacular Rocky Mountains of western Alberta, Canada, home to some of the most majestic wildlife in North America. |
The Byers’ lab is looking for field assistants to help with a behavioral study of pronghorn at the National Bison Range in northwestern Montana. Gain field-experience in one of the most beautiful places in the country!! |
Master’ of Arts Degree in New York City:Concentration and Certificate Program in Animal Behavior and Conservation (ABC)This Concentration within the Master's Program in Psychology at Hunter College is designed to provide students with skills that will facilitate entry through course work, research, and practical experience, into the fields of animal behavior cognition, communication, conservation, animal welfare, and zoo science. |
Experienced MWD trainer with a MSc in Animal Behaviour seeking for a PhDscholarship related to military dog behaviour/welfare. Also available to contribute in writing for a book/handbook in this area |
I am looking for graduate students (PhD or MSc) interested in comparative neuroanatomy and the neuroendocrince control of behaviour in birds and mammals. There are several funded projects currently underway. Techniques generally include immunohistochemistry, stereology, hormone assays and behavioural analyses, but opportunities also exist to learn three-dimensional reconstruction and electron microscopy. There are also opportunities to collaborate with other research groups including University of Alberta, University of Maryland and several institutions overseas and to attend national and international conferences. Three of the projects currently available are described below. |
LEAD INSTRUCTOR AND DIRECTOR OF LABORATORIES The Kenyon College Biology Department seeks applicants with broad training in biological sciences for a nontenure-track, continuing full-time position as Lead Instructor and Director of Introductory Laboratories. The Lead Instructor has overall responsibility for An Introduction to Experimental Biology (biology 109-110), a yearlong, stand-alone introductory laboratory course with an emphasis on experimental design, data analysis, and scientific writing. |
TWO field assistants are needed for 13 months (beginning mid-to-late May 2010) to help with a study of the behavior, ecology, endocrinology, and conservation of wild gelada monkeys (Theropithecus gelada) at a remote, semi-permanent field site in north-central Ethiopia called Guassa. |
Field assistants needed for behavioral and physiological studies in Belding's ground squirrels. Research takes place in the stunning Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains! |
The 4th International Symposium offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to stakeholders in the development and use of non-surgical methods of controlling cat and dog populations worldwide. The Symposium will feature 40 speakers and will bring together scientists, veterinarians, animal welfare professionals, public health advocates, pharmaceutical industry representatives, and funders from the U.S. and abroad. |
