Job Description:
5 FIELD BIOLOGIST INTERNS needed for a Black-backed Woodpecker Radio-telemetry Project in burned forests of the Sierra Nevada, California. Approximate dates of project: late April - mid July 2012. Prior field experience, particularly radio-telemetry and mist-netting experience, are big pluses, as is experience with field work in rugged mountainous environments. Other requirements include a sense of humor, a love of adventure, a desire to learn more about Black-backed Woodpecker natural history and fire ecology, and an appreciation for recently burned montane landscapes. Successful candidates must be in good physical condition and must be comfortable with off-trail hiking and orienteering (training provided) and perhaps extended camping at remote sites. A personal vehicle is desirable but not required. Shared housing and project-related mileage reimbursement provided along with a per diem of $39 for food and general living expenses (amounts to $975 per month).

To Apply:
Interested applicants should send cover letter, resume, and the names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of two references to: BOB WILKERSON, The Institute for Bird Populations, (EM: bwilkerson AT birdpop DOT org). Electronic submissions are preferred. If that is not possible, please call or email to obtain appropriate mailing address. Website: http://www.birdpop.org/Interns/BBT12.htm
