FIELD RESEARCH ASSISTANTS (16 positions: 8 intern nest searchers, 2 band
resighters, 3 intern mist-netters, 1 target-netting supervisor, and 2
mist-netting supervisors) needed for a long-term research program
designed to examine the evolution of life-history traits as well as the
influence of predation rates, habitat structure, and microclimate on
nest site selection in birds. Field assistants will have the
opportunity to gain experience in many of the field techniques used in
avian research such as: nest-searching, mist-netting, target-netting,
territorial-mapping, re-sighting, vegetation surveys and video-taping
nests. The study site is located in north central Arizona in the
Coconino National Forest at 8,000 ft. elevation. The field camp is
remote and requires tent living (you must provide your own tent), and
pay is $650/mo (all intern positions) or $1100/mo (supervisor
positions). The project runs from May 1st to July 24-31st. Applicants
should have a strong work ethic and appreciation for scientific
research. Those applying for the mist-netting supervisor positions must
have a minimum of three months banding experience, preferably with MAPS
protocol. Review of applications will begin January 25th 2003 and will
continue until positions are filled. Please email or surface mail:
cover letter stating your interest in the project and relevant
experience, resume, and 3 letters of recommendation to Lainie Berry,
