| VOLUNTEER FIELD ASSISTANTS (5) needed early May to mid Aug 2004 for seabird research in Alaska. Study site is Middleton Island, a remote location in the north-central Gulf of Alaska with large populations of kittiwakes, cormorants, murres, puffins, and gulls. Crew of 6 people will live in close quarters and work together in conducting population studies of several species. Duties include censusing, banding and band resighting, blood sampling, daily observation of breeding biology, and supplemental feeding of birds in artificial nest sites. Enthusiasm and willingness to work long hours under sometimes messy or inhospitable conditions essential; prior experience in field studies of birds or other wildlife a plus. Students and recent college graduates with interest and training in ornithology, ecology, or wildlife science encouraged to apply. Transportation to and from lower 48, all expenses in Alaska, and $5.00 per diem provided. Field season expected to last from approximately 5 May through 20 Aug, and availability for the whole period is important. Decisions will be made as soon as possible, but not later than 1 Apr 2005. To apply, send cover letter (indicating clearly the earliest and latest dates you are available), resume, and 2-3 references via e-mail (EM: aramey@...) or regular mail to SCOTT HATCH or ANDY RAMEY, U.S. Geological Survey, Alaska Science Center, 1011 East Tudor Road, Anchorage, Alaska 99503. | |||
