Hi ECOLOG-Listers, I'm currently conducting my MSc in Conservation Biology at the FitzPatrick Institute/Univ. of Cape Town. I am unexpectedly and urgently in need of an additional volunteer intern to join our research team on South Africa's Garden Route to study impacts of tourism on breeding success of White-fronted Plovers.
This is a short notice ad -- start date is from mid-November (that's in 6 weeks!), with the position lasting 3 months, through at least the first week of February, with the option of extending based on personal availability. Duties involve lots of observational fieldwork on beautiful coastlines, and other involvement with various facets of research (data management, administrative tasks, outreach/science communication, etc.) We keep accommodation and associated costs as low as possible; please contact me for further details. If interested, please send CV & short letter of motivation as soon as possible to [email protected], as we need to hire quickly and are scheduling interviews now. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need additional information on research topics & costs! Kindest Regards, --Selena Flores ____________________________________ Selena Flores, MSc Candidate Percy FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology, SA DST/NRF Centre of Excellence, University of Cape Town Thesis topic: Effects of anthropogenic disturbance of beaches on breeding shorebirds in the high-tourism Garden Route region of South Africa.
