FIELD RESEARCH ASSISTANTS (15) (9 intern nest searchers, 2 intern
mist-netters, 2 intern target-netters, 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 Research 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 in montane forest. The field camp is remote and
requires tent living (you must provide your own tent), and pay is
$650/mo (all intern positions) $1050/mo (mist-netting supervisor
positions). The project runs from May 1st-July 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 February 15TH, 2002 and
will continue until positions are filled. Please email or surface mail:
