Candidates are invited to apply for a PhD scholarship opportunity at the Department of Brain, Behaviour and Evolution (http://galliform.bhs.mq.edu.au/~bbe/) via the Endeavour Awards scheme (http://www.endeavour.deewr.gov.au/). The project is based in the laboratory of Ken Cheng (http://galliform.bhs.mq.edu.au/~ken/), to whom enquiries should be directed (ken.cheng@mq.edu.au). |
Primatology Field Methods includes an intensive student gathering data week-long session in a natural habitat reserve, the Lemur Conservation Foundation’s Myakka City Lemur Reserve in Florida. This course will introduce students to methods used for collecting behavioral and ecological data on free-ranging primates through a combination of lectures and field exercises. These will include development of ethograms, sampling methods, recording rules, mapping sites and animal movements, and estimating resource availability. By the end of this course students will be able to assess whether their interests lie in gaining further advanced training in primatology, such as graduate training or a field or lab assistantship with a senior scientist. |

Hello! I'm looking for field biologists who are interested in collaborating with me to develop a series of short features that could feature on Discovery Canada.What I need to know from you:Where and when are you working in the field?What do you do?You can be a grad student, post doc or professor...the only requirement is that you are in the field in the next 6 months (I do require fairly specific dates).I will take care of the rest! Please email me at carin@carinbondar.com if you are interested. Include your info in the body of the email. Thanks, looking forward to hearing from you! |
I am seeking one volunteer research assistant to help with a PhD project on a marine fish species on Vancouver Island, BC. This work will require a commitment of approximately 2 months, from late May to late July 2010. |
I am seeking one volunteer research assistant to help with a PhD project on a marine fish species on Vancouver Island, BC. This work will require a commitment of approximately 2 months, from late May to late July 2010.Project: This study investigates the reproductive behaviours of the plainfin midshipman (Porichthy notatus). Behavioural observations, sample collections, and field experiments will be conducted. This work is highly dependent on the tides, and will require long working days during low tide event, with lighter work in between low tides. Other working conditions include early mornings and muddy, wet, and rocky terrain in variable weather conditions. Previous field work experience is desirable but not necessary. Applicants should be very enthusiastic about field work, reliable, and in good physical condition. There will be opportunities to conduct independent projects. Accommodations and food will be supplied.If interested, please send a CV (including 2 references) highlighting any relevant field experience, a brief statement about why you are interested in this position, and tell me when you are available to work. I will start reviewing applications as they arrive.Please contact me if you have any more questions or concerns.Karen Cogliatikmcogliati@mcmaster.caDepartment of Psychology, Neuroscience and BehaviourMcMaster UniversityHamilton, ONL8S 4L8 |
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. |
The Whale Center of New England, located in Gloucester, MA, is a non-profit research organization involved with the study of the behavior, ecology, and natural history of the whales and dolphins found in the waters off of Massachusetts. The Whale Center is also heavily involved with habitat conservation and education programs. We are currently looking to fill research internships for the Summer (May 24 - August 20) and Fall (August 16 - December 17) semesters of 2010, and Spring (January 31 - May 27) semesters of 2011. Please note: All positions are filled in the spring of each year. |

The Mabry lab at New Mexico State University invites applications from motivated and independent students to begin graduate work in fall 2010. I anticipate accepting 2 students to pursue either PhD or MS work in behavioral ecology. Research in the lab focuses on the causes and consequences of individual behavioral variation, with a current emphasis on dispersal and habitat selection behavior in complex landscapes, using small mammals as a study system. Students with interests in animal movement, habitat selection, animal behavior in a landscape context, the population-level consequences of individual behavior, and/or landscape genetics are especially encouraged to apply. Graduate students will be supported by a combination of research and teaching assistantships. More information about the lab is available at http://biology-web.nmsu.edu/mabry |
Students interested in primate behavior, ecology, and evolution are encouraged to apply to the Ph.D. program offered by the Committee on Evolutionary Biology at the University of Chicago. |
