A responsible field manager is needed from April 2007 through November 2007 to assist with site construction, collection of field data, data entry, laboratory work, and to manage field assistants.
The research project is attempting to simulate regional climate warming by increasing both air and soil temperature in greenhouses located near Thompson, Manitoba, Canada (55° 53N, 98° 20W.) Professor Stith Gower in the Department of Forest Ecology and Management at the University of Wisconsin leads the project. For further project details and pictures go to: <http://forestecology.forest.wisc.edu/warming.html>http://forestecology.forest.wisc.edu/warming.html We expect the field manager to be able to work under severe climate conditions, participate in manual labor and possess a good work ethic. All technical skills will be taught in the field; however basic knowledge of the use of Li-Cor gas analyzers and Campbell dataloggers is preferred. The field manager will live rent free in a four-bedroom suburban home along with field assistants. This is an opportunity to gain valuable research experience surrounded by remote boreal forest, beautiful water ways, and the Northern lights. Interested applicants should e-mail a brief statement of interest and a resume as an attached Word document to Dustin Bronson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Selected applicants will be notified and interviews will be scheduled.
