Hello all, In my previous e-mail, my documents failed to attach. Below I have provided information pertaining to this position:
Job Title: Experienced songbird nest searcher Description: A pristine passerine nest searcher is needed for a study on how the fear of predators affects the survival of newly fledged song sparrow young located on the beautiful Southern Gulf Islands in British Columbia Canada. Applicants must possess the ability to visually follow coloured banded adults movements back to nests. Applicants with ample experience and a successful record in finding passerine nests will be given priority. A valid driver’s licence and experience with outboard motors are definite assets. The position is from Apr/May-Aug 2014 (start and end dates are flexible). Salary is $1500 CAN per month, and all camping fees for accommodation at the Southern Gulf Islands National Park are provided. Other duties may include radio tracking fledglings, video camera surveillance, deploying protective equipment to prevent predators gaining access to song sparrow nests, but your primary task will be nest searching. Qualifications: The successful applicant must be able to follow behavioural cues of passerine parents to find nest locations. Provide a list of birds (per species) you have experience nest searching for, along with an estimate of how many nests you found per species. Application Instructions: The deadline for application is March 21, 2014. Please include a letter of interest that highlights your nest searching qualifications and lists the species you have experience nest searching for, along with an estimate of how many nests you have found for each species you listed. Also, include your C.V. and names, addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of three references to be contacted. Indicate your relationship with each reference (e.g. supervisor, lecturer, etc.).
