Volunteer field assistant needed for the Summer 2014 at La Selva Biological Research Station in Costa Rica.

Volunteer field assistant needed for the Summer 2014 at La Selva Biological Research Station in Costa Rica.
The research project will focus on sexual selection of the strawberry poison frog, Oophaga pumilio, and will be part of my M.S. thesis research at John Carroll University. Both field and laboratory work will be required.
The laboratory aspect will involve behavioral experiments, in which a female choice is assessed.
The field aspect will involve behavioral observations of female choice in nature.
This project will take place over a 2-month period at some point between mid-May to August, and therefore applicants with flexible summer schedules are preferred.
I am looking for a motivated and hard working individual with a strong work ethic, preferably with a scientific background of some kind.
This assistantship will require long days in the field, so applicants must be in good physical condition.
To apply, please email a single document with a cover letter, resume/CV, the dates you are available, personal contact information, and contact information of 2 references to Meaghan Gade at mgade16@jcu.edu.
