Responsible field assistants are needed from May 2007 through November 2007 (dates negotiable) to assist with site construction, collection of field data, data entry, and laboratory work.
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 We expect field assistants to be able to work under severe climate conditions, participate in manual labor and possess a good work ethic. Graduate students will oversee field and laboratory operations. All technical skills will be taught in the field; however candidates are expected to have basic computer skills. Assistants will live rent free in a four bedroom suburban home, but will be responsible for their own food and field clothes. Assistants will make between $7.00 and $9.50 per hour based on experience. This is an opportunity to gain valuable research experience surrounded by remote boreal forest, beautiful water ways and the Northern lights.
