Cloud Forest Bird Banding Volunteers - Ecuador

Join Life Net Nature’s long-term avian monitoring and conservation project in the Andes of western Ecuador, December 6-19, 2016. We have openings for 8 volunteers on this year's team.

Life Net banding assistants help with mist-netting of birds at several banding stations and do bird surveys in the Las Tangaras Reserve, Mindo, Ecuador. Our goal is to advance scientific understanding of cloud forest avian communities, including species responses to deforestation, grazing, and climate change over time.

Reserva Las Tangaras boasts more than 25 species of hummingbird, one of the largest regional cock-of-the-rock display leks, and great numbers of Choco and Andean endemic bird species. Volunteers help set up and monitor mist nets, extract birds from nets, carry birds from nets to a banding station, and record basic ecological data. A cost-share donation of $1650 covers your transportation in Ecuador, meals, lodging during the conservation research program, reserve fees, salaries for Ecuadorian cooks and para-biologists (airfare to and from Ecuador is not included nor are hotel nights in Quito). The donation balance is used to cover stewardship costs related to operating the Las Tangaras Reserve as a cloud forest protected area for Choco wildlife.

The conservation expedition begins and ends in Quito.

Field Course Instructors Wanted

If your specialty is in botany, primatology, ornithology, herpetology, entomology, or another related discipline, and you dream of returning to the field each year, we would like to invite you to apply to teach a field course at one of our locations in Peru or India.

This is an opportunity to reach a global pool of students, to design a course that highlights your interests and experience, and to make a meaningful contribution to conservation education. FPI will assist with course promotion, logistics, planning, and administering student enrollment. In addition, a local fixer will be provided to help with airport pickups and other transportation to the field site. All you will do is do what you love best - teach!

ACCA seeks to hire a Director of Science and Research to be based in Lima.

The Association for the Conservation of the Amazon Basin (ACCA, by the Spanish acronym for La Asociación para la Conservación de la Cuenca Amazónica) is a Peruvian non-profit organization whose mission is to conserve biological diversity through effective policies that lead to sustainable land-use practices and environmental protection. Since 1999, ACCA has developed projects and programs that have built a solid foundation for biodiversity conservation and sustainable management of natural resources in the Andes-Amazon region of Peru. ACCA is an organization with extensive experience in the management of conservation areas, sustainable forests, and natural resources, and in scientific research related to the impacts of climate change on biodiversity. ACCA’s mission emphasizes the creation of public policies based on science to conserve the biodiversity of the areas in which it works.

ACCA has three offices (in Lima, Puerto Maldonado, and Cuzco) and three biological research stations: two of the stations are located within the buffer zone of Manu National Park in the Cuzco region, while the third is in the Madre de Dios region, on the banks of the Madre de Dios River and adjacent to the 360,000-acre Los Amigos Conservation Concession, also managed by ACCA. The biological stations are spaces that promote the training of researchers and the development of research that is of high-importance for the conservation of Andes-Amazonian ecosystems.

The NERC Independent Research Fellowship (IRF) Scheme is designed to develop scientific leadership among the most promising early-career environmental scientists, by giving all fellows five years' support, which will allow them sufficient time to develop their research programmes and to gain international recognition.

As part of this scheme, NERC will expand its fellowship networking and training activities, working with host institutions, to support the development of future leaders in NERC science.

The next closing date for NERC Independent Research Fellowships is 4 October 2016. Applicants can begin submission of their proposals on the Je-S System from 1 June 2016; prior to this date, the call will not appear on the Je-S system.

Application and assessment process
In order to identify future science leaders, the assessment process will concentrate on applicants' research potential, with track record assessed in a way that is appropriate to career stage. Applicants will be expected to:

Demonstrate their research vision and philosophy and outline ways in which their research could be developed over the five year fellowship;
Explain how they will contribute to the international research area and interact with the leading international groups in their field;
Explain how they will enable the potential economic or societal benefits of their research to be realised.

In order to demonstrate a commitment to the development of NERC IRFs, the Head of Department of the host institution will be required to demonstrate:
The availability of structured institutional support, including infrastructure and facilities, funds to support research, and access to PhD students;
Support for personal development of the fellow, including mentoring, appropriate review, and training courses.
