Dear Ecolog, We are hiring part-time and full-time research assistants to help with a project at Michigan State University’s Kellogg Biological Station (KBS, http://www.kbs.msu.edu/) from May 1st to June 20th. The project focuses on conducting field experiments with gypsy moth caterpillar disease transmission. Assistants will perform a mixture of field and laboratory work, including rearing gypsy moth caterpillars in the lab and setting up equipment for field experiments.
Part-time workers should be available at least 10 hours per week and provide their own transportation to the Station. Part-time working hours are flexible, including nights and weekends, to accommodate students' classes or other obligations. We will provide housing on KBS’s campus for students able to work full-time. If full-time employees already possess their own housing and transportation in the KBS area, we will increase their salary by $1 per hour. Dates of employment: May 1st to June 20th Preferred qualifications: Laboratory and/or field experience. Minimum Salary: $9.63 per hour. Full-time workers will be paid a standard 40 hours per week and part-time workers will be paid hourly. To apply, please send a short Statement of Interest, CV and 2 reference letters to [email protected]. We will begin reviewing applications on March 16 and continue until all positions are filled. Hope to see you this summer! Colin Kyle Department of Ecology and Evolution University of Chicago
