from the dept. Volunteer field assistants needed to assist multiple PhD projects on the chestnut-crowned babbler July-October 2010. Primary duties will include assisting with mist-netting and field experiments, monitoring groups for breeding activity, and data entry. The work will often require starting before dawn and days off will be irregular and dependent on the weather. The study site is located in western New South Wales, within a research station owned and run by UNSW. The station is approximately 90 minutes' drive from the nearest settlement, and visits are generally limited to food and equipment shopping during the central part of the field season. Successful applicants will need to be able to work independently and in a team, as well as being physically fit and having a tolerance for working in extreme environments. A positive attitude and enthusiasm for the work is essential. Previous experience working with birds would be an asset. The position would suit recent graduates from a relevant discipline that wish to develop their field experience or understanding of ecological research. The dates of the position are approximately 15th July - 15th October with a possible extension into November depending on the quality of the breeding season. There is no salary for the position, but food and accommodation at the station will be provided. Assistants must cover their own transport costs to and from the field station. To apply, email a letter of interest (include dates of availability), resume, and contact information for three referees to JAMES SAVAGE (jls59 AT cam.ac.uk). Applications will be reviewed as they are received; the closing date is May 31st. < Volunteer Research Assistant: Cooperation in Barbary Macaques, Morocco | Call for Proposals - Sabbatical Scholars and Collaborative Working Groups >
