FIELD INTERNSHIP with potential to become M.S. RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIP - I am seeking a highly motivated individual to assist with an investigation into the behavioral ecology of the critically endangered Niau Kingfisher. Assistance is required on the island of Niau, French Polynesia, from October through early December. Work includes habitat assessment, radio tracking, nest searching, population monitoring, and behavior observations. Proficiency speaking and writing in French, and a demonstrated ability to work alone and under extremely difficult field and cultural conditions are required. Additional experience banding birds and working with radio telemetry is also preferred. Travel, housing, lodging, and limited per diem are provided. The successful applicant may also have the option to design additional research for a M.S. research assistantship at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Please send a letter of interest, CV, and contact information for 2 references (name, phone, and email) to Dylan Kesler ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
