Prior experience with birds is desirable but not required;self-motivation, enthusiasm for the questions and ability to tacklethe rigors of fieldwork are a must. We are particularly interested incandidates who believe they would like to go to graduate school inbehavioral ecology or field ornithology. Positions start in Mar or Apr2009 and continue through mid-Jul with the possibility of an extendedstint for more focused individuals wishing to participate fully in aresearch project leading to publication.
