Subject: Three Full-time Summer Field Assistant Positions

 

Mammal Diversity and Climate Change: three positions are available for field
assistants in the lab of Dr. Christy McCain at the University of Colorado at
Boulder, Dept. of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology and CU Museum. We will be
examining small mammal distributions on two contrasting mountain systems in
the Southern Rocky Mountains to test hypotheses related to the maintenance
of biological diversity and to detect range shifts due to climate change.
Duties include: live-trapping small mammals, conducting visual transects,
sampling of various habitat parameters, seeds and insects. The position
requires periods of up to 10 days in remote and rugged field settings,
sometimes at high elevations, involving camping and hiking in a variety of
weather conditions. Dates of employment are May to August 2011, with
potential to work into early September-October. The position is full time.
Salary will be $12.00 per hour. Minorities are especially encouraged to
apply. Volunteer research opportunities are also available beyond these
three paid positions. Please send a letter of interest, CV, and 3 references
to Dr. Sarah King at [log in to unmask] Review of applicants will
begin on March 21 and will continue until the posts are filled.
