The Bolnick lab at the University of Texas at Austin is looking for a volunteer research assistant to help with field work on host-parasite relationships of threespine stickleback in lakes on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. We are looking for someone who enjoys field work, is willing to work long hours outside, and gets along well with other members of a field crew. The work will involve extensive snorkeling to observe and collect stickleback and their eggs, so basic proficiency with snorkeling and canoeing is useful. The volunteer must be able to bring their own good wetsuit or drysuit and related equipment to snorkel in ~55 degree (F) water.
The volunteer must be available to help with work from (approximately) May 24th through June 24th. The cost of travel, lodging and food will be covered by the principal investigator. The volunteer is thus expected to incur minimal expenses during this time. If interested, contact Dan Bolnick at [email protected], with a brief coverletter describing your background and attach a copy of a CV.
