Assistants needed for bowerbird field study in Australia

This is a long term study of mate choice that which follows the success of male bower holders and female visitation at bowers. Assistants are needed for one of two sessions: The first from early Sep through late Oct. and the other from late Oct. to late Dec. Assistants must arrange for travel to the field site; we will provide food and lodging at the site. Tasks assistants will perform include locating bower sites and clearing trails, monitoring the behavior of birds at bowers with infrared sensing equipment and camcorders and maintaining this equipment, and direct observation of birds. The work is very physically demanding and assistants must be focused on this project and flexible in their requirements. Interested applicants should send (preferably electronically) cover letter, resume, and e-mail addresses of three references to: Dr. Gerald Borgia (email: borgia@umd.edu), Department of Biology, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742-4415 (PH: 301-405-6943, FX: 301-314-9358).
