PART-TIME FIELD AND LAB ASSISTANT POSITION Site: Silverton, Colorado.
Duration: June 18 to August 6, 2007. Project Title: Geology as a Possible Controlling Factor on Beetle Community Structure and Biodiversity in a Mountainous Environment Job Description: This position will assist in weekly soil/sediment tests, plant community identification, and beetle trapping out in the field, and will require hiking in most weather conditions and sometimes carrying heavy backpack/containers. Fifty percent of the job will be out in the field while the other fifty percent will be processing insects collected from the traps (¡Ö3 days per week). Ideal candidate will have some background in ecology, entomology and field work but training will be provided if you do not. The geology field aspect of the project has already been collected, but if you¡¯re a geology student interested in interdisciplinary work you¡¯re welcome to apply! You will need to provide your own transportation to Silverton Colorado unless you are coming from Northwest Ohio or along my travel route. The Mountain Studies Institute, located in Silverton, will be able to provide low cost housing. Currently this is a non-paying position. I am in the process of applying for grant money to be used for this project. If I can get money for this position, it will pay $1,190.00 (or $8.50 an hour) for the field season. Also, if I can get enough grant money, you will not have to pay for housing. We can share in food costs too. Deadline to apply for this position is April 10, 2007.
