Volunteer field helpers - Marine mammals research
at Elephant Seal Research Group in United States
PROJECT: Long term study of southern elephant seals breeding biology
POSITION: Volunteer (unpaid) field helper
DURATION: 3 months, September-November 2010
PLACE: Sea Lion Island, Falkland Islands, Southern Atlantic
DEADLINE: submit letter of interest + CV by 31st May 2010
Various volunteer field helpers are required for the 2010 field
season of a long term project on southern elephant seals carried out by
the Elephant Seal Research Group. The field work site is Sea Lion
Island (Falkland Islands). More details on the project are available on
the research team web site: www.eleseal.org.
Successful applicants will receive adequate training and will help
with tagging, marking, counts, behavioral observations, handling of
pups, and collection of biological sampling. Volunteers will be
supervised by the PIs and/or by trained technicians. Previous
experience of field work is appreciated but not essential. The field
season runs for approximately 3 months, from the beginning of September
to the end of November. Only applicants who can stay for the whole
season can be taken into consideration. Applicants should pay all
expenses required to get to the field work site, and telephone/Internet
expenses while at Sea Lion Island. Accommodation at Sea Lion Island is
rather basic and self-catering. Applicants will be required to work for
the whole length of the day, seven days per week (with half day per
week of rest). The work is physically demanding, and it is often
carried out in rather bad weather conditions. People without a good
tolerance to cold are discouraged to apply. The island is a wonderful
place with a rich and tame wildlife.
To apply please send a cover letter describing your interest in the
position and a CV or resume to Filippo Galimberti at fil_esrg@eleseal.
org, and copy to fil_esrg@prodigy.net.mx. Contact information for one
or more references is appreciated but not essential.
Thanks.
