from the to-good-to-be-true dept. dept. Volunteer field assistants (3-4) needed from Oct. 2008 – Jan. 2009 (dates somewhat flexible, must be able to stay for at least 3 months) for a study of the breeding behavior of the Red-backed Fairy-Wren in Queensland, Australia. Duties include nest searching and monitoring, target netting, collection of blood samples, behavioral observations, territory mapping, and data entry. Previous experience with nest searching, mist netting, and bleeding preferred, but not required. The study site is rugged and remote, and poisonous snakes, ticks, and land leaches are common. Therefore, applicants must be able to hike steep hills off-trail, withstand conditions at the site, and maintain a positive and energetic attitude despite long hours and hot and humid conditions. Work schedules and duties will vary, so flexibility is a must. Assistants will enjoy fantastic wildlife viewing opportunities (Wallabies, platypus, echidna, kookaburra, etc.) and proximity to Queensland rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. Food and housing will be provided. However, assistants will have to provide their own airfare to and from Australia. To apply, please send cover letter detailing interests and previous experience, resume, and list of 3 references to Willow Lindsay (e-mail: willowlindsay(at)wsu.edu: (at) replaces @ to dodge spammers), Washington State University, School of Biological Sciences, P.O. Box 644236, Pullman, WA 99163-4236. Electronic applications preferred. Please state dates of availability. Initial review of applications will begin July 21st and will continue until positions are filled. < Post-doc Fall 08, Fish Behavioral/Evolutionary Ecology | ABS members Strassmann and Queller elected fellows of American Academy of Arts and Sciences >
