Small Mammal Ecology in the Northern Sierra Nevada, California
* available immediately *

We are seeking one good-natured and hard-working technician to work the
late-2005 Field Season (October through November, and possibly beyond).
Salary will be ca. $1800/mo; housing is provided at the U.C. Forestry Camp
located near Quincy, CA. Applicants should have a Bachelor's degree in a
Biology or Wildlife related program, or equivalent experience. We will be
working outdoors in California's majestic Sierra Nevada, where conditions
may include snow (early and late season), rain, mosquitoes, thunderstorms,
and summer heat. Surprisingly, terrain may be steep and vegetation ranges
from moderate to dense.

Duties will emphasize livetrapping and radiotelemetry of northern flying
squirrels. Because these animals are nocturnal, night-time work is
necessary.

Applicant should be in good shape and willing to work nights (crew work in
pairs), and must be able to take good and clear field notes and, of course,
maintain a positive attitude and be able to work with others.

We are not able to accept applications from persons requiring a work VISA.
The University of California, Davis is an affirmative action/equal
opportunity employer with a strong institutional commitment to the
development of a climate that supports equality of opportunity and respect
for differences.

Applicants should send or email a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and names
of three references (name, affiliation, telephone number, email address) to
