In addition, the project coordinator may collaborate in the house sparrow research by assisting in developing the experimental design, the research protocols, managing data, analysis, and writing papers. There are also options for social science research in this citizen science context. The job is part-time (18hr/week), temporary (6 month, starting in February 2013), and located at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, NY or Hunter College, New York City, NY. In addition to a science background, applicants should have a strong interest in science communication, blogging, social media, and commitment to engaging the public in science. Graduate students supported on teaching assistantships might consider this job as an alternative type of graduate support that fosters career development in public outreach and science communication.
