from the Neotropical Avian Breeding Biology dept. I am looking for volunteers to participate on the last field season of my PhD thesis project on the highland of the Manu national park. The project will cover altitudinal elevation between 800 and 3100m, and will take place during the avian breeding season between August and December 2010. This study require mainly search and monitor nests, behavioral observations, mist-netting, and banding. We will be working six days a week between 6:00 am and 5:30 pm, and in occasion data entry will take place during he night. Communication is limited, we can have between 2 and 3 weeks without email or phone access. Applicants should be in good physical shape, able to work well in a group setting, and be willing to work long hours (10 hours per day under difficult conditions (heat, rain, high humidity and lots of biting and stinging insects) in the field. This job is right for people that are interested in conducting behavioral and ecological studies and that have previous field experience (especially tropical). Please keep in mind that I receive many applicants each year, and due to the remoteness and field conditions I personally prefer volunteers with previous experience with mist nets, nest searching and that can live in happy in uncomfortable conditions (camping and cooking for 4 months). You should expect to be wet, bit by insects (specially mosquitoes) and have a limited diet of rice, pasta, legumes, cassava, plantain, and fresh vegetables. Please send the applications before May 10/2010 via email( to galondo@ufl.edu) with (1) one letter explaining why you want this difficult job, (2) CV and (3) names and emails of three references that can talk about your field and personal qualities. Please read the comments of previous field assistants to have a better idea about the project http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/ordwaylab/londono/previousfieldasistants.html. Please visit my web page http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/ordwaylab/londono/andeanproject.html for specific details about the project and field site. Unfortunately this project have a limited budget thus I can’t cover salaries or transportation to Peru, but I will cover transportation to the stations, food and station fees. I f you are interested please send all the information to galondo@ufl.edu < Comprehensive Animal Behavior Research Methods DVD available for only $5! | Course Announcement - Dolphin Research Center >
