The Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Gothic, CO, USA, is looking
for someone to teach its wildlife ecology course in the summer of 2012.
The course involves 5-12 students and meets approximately 8 days. The
class supplements the experiences students receive as they conduct
independent research projects under the guidance of scientific mentors.
Compensation is $2500-$3000, depending upon experience, and includes the
waiver of station fees for 35 days. Instructors are responsible for
paying for housing, either onsite or in the neighboring resort
community. Pets are not allowed at RMBL. Ideally we are looking for
someone who can mentor students on research projects involving birds
over the course of an 8-10 week field season as well as conduct outreach
activities for the general public (e.g., lead birding trips). The
amount of compensation for these activities depends upon the level of
engagement. Applicants should have a PhD, but graduate students that
are close to finishing their PhD will be considered. Applicants should
send a cover letter that includes information on experience with
teaching, mentoring, and outreach activities, a CV, and a list of at
least three references and associated contact information to Ian
Billick, [email protected].
