I am seeking a field research assistant to work in Greenland during the summer of 2013. You will be helping to collect data on the phenology of tundra plant roots as it relates to climate change. I am seeking a motivated junior or senior undergraduate with previous field research experience and will give preference to those who can stay the entire summer (mid May to mid August). Duties may include scoring plant phenology, processing plant samples, photographing plant roots using a minirhizotron camera, and entering data.
Living expenses and travel to/from upstate New York to Greenland will be covered. You will be responsible for your own camping equipment. The summer will be spent camping with a small group of researchers on the tundra, so previous camping experience is recommended. Please send a resume and a brief personal statement to Laura Radville ( [email protected]). Review of applications will begin on January 20th and will continue until the position is filled.
