Hello,I am a French student who will obtain her AA in biology in December with GPA 4.0. I am looking for a field research assistant in ethology for next year. |
I am a 2006 graduate from University of Mississippi looking for field work. |
Genomics of cold tolerance adaptations in New Zealand alpine stick insectsThe Allan Wilson Centre for Molecular Ecology and Evolution and LandcareResearch has funding for a Ph.D. position in genome evolution of stickinsects. The Ph.D. student will be supervised by Thomas Buckley at LandcareResearch, Auckland and will be enrolled at the University of Auckland. Theywill receive training in genomics, entomology, bioinformatics, populationgenetics and phylogenetics. The student will be co-supervised by RichardNewcomb (University of Auckland) and Allen Rodrigo (BioinformaticsInstitute, University of Auckland). The successful candidate will receive ascholarship of $25,000 per year for three years and $5,000 per year forfees.The New Zealand stick insect genus Micrarchus contains several species ofwhich one is restricted to the high alpine zone of the South Island. Otherspecies are restricted to the lowlands of the North and South Islands. Thisproject will involve gathering transcriptome data from alpine and lowlandMicrarchus species via pyrosequencing to identify candidate loci involved incold tolerance. The function of these loci will then be assessed usingquantitative PCR. Genetic variation at loci showing a clear association withcold tolerance will be measured within and between species. The historicalphylogenetic pattern will be reconstructed using markers isolated from thetranscriptome data. Patterns of gene flow between the alpine and lowlandspecies at cold tolerance loci and background loci will be compared.For enquiries please contact Thomas Buckley at the email address below.Potential candidates should submit a CV, grades, and two references:Thomas BuckleyLandcare Researchbuckleyt@landcareresearch.co.nz+64-9-574-4116 |
Applications are being sought for a student interested in pursuing an academic career studying various aspects of the behavior of sailfin and Amazon mollies (or Salamanders). |
I am a graduate of UIUC May 2008 in Integrative Biology looking for an internship for this coming Summer or Fall. I already have extensive field and laboratory experience. I have open availability and am looking for an internship that lasts anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 months or more that provides housing and a small stipend. I am flexible and eager to jump into the field of Animal Behavior. |
Looking for assistants to help with research in forest-edge habitats of central Panama this Summer 2009. Current projects relate neuroanatomy to the wild courtship displays of the manakins and also examine the hormonal basis of the acrobatic courtship displays of the golden-collared manakin (Manacus vitellinus). |
My name is Carmelo La Barba.I'm a Master student at the University of Torino, Italy.I'm looking for a research group who is working on Elephant (especially African) because I'd love to have the opportunity to be involved in a field or captivity research project on elephants (comunication,social behavoir pr spatial use). |
Currently we have an opening for a field assistant and researcher (graduate student project) to conduct research in Ecuador. Desired candidates will preferably have some experience in the tropics, some Spanish training, and/or long-term field experience. However, those who have training in one of the following fields will also be considered desirable candidates: primatology, parasitology, veterinary medicine, population genetics, ecology, physical anthropology, biology or animal behavior. Note, prior experience working with primates in not required, though some experience working with wildlife is preferable. |
I am experienced in SPSS,SAS,Ms Project and epi info and research methods.I am well aware of any research and looking for opportunity to do research for you.Thanks in advance,Erick Ngosia |
If you are looking for a Field Research Assistant or Research Lab Assistant to begin mid-May or after, please contact me. I have a extensive background in Biology (including several classes on behavior) and a Psychology minor. I also have research experience in both a Psychology and an Entomology lab. |
I am looking for several volunteer field assistants to help with the long-term monitoring of the social behavior, ecology, and genetics of wild titi monkeys (Callicebus donacophilus) in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Field Assistants will be required to do all day follows on the various groups 5 days/week. Assistant responsibilities include recording social and foraging behavior, mapping group movements, entering data, aiding in playback experiments, and collecting fecal samples for genetic analyses.Qualifications/Experience:Previous field work experience or graduate of a qualified field course is preferred. Volunteers should be highly motivated with a strong interest in primate behavior and ecology.Generally, students should:1. be in good physical and mental condition2. be able to cope with early morning starts3. be comfortable being away from family and friends for long periods of time4. have a positive attitude5. be patient and committedSalary/funding:No funding is available at this time. However, it is possible that part of your accommodation will be covered.Term of Appointment:August 2009 to May 2010. Longer stays are preferred, but a minimum of 3 months is required. Volunteers staying 6 months or longer will receive publication credit. |
