Hello all, A suggestion, if I may, on posting positions such as this one. I live in southern Brazil (am American), and often have students, both undergrad and grad, who would love an opportunity like this. It would be fantastic if the job description included whether the job is open only US citizens or otherwise. And, believe me, this kind of experience would be fantastic for many Latin Americans. And, the restriction that they need to identify (for example) eastern US birds would be no problem, because they would work hard to learn the entire gamut of species available before starting. After all, they have a lot of practice with learning a much greater diversity of species.
Just a thought!
