Volunter Assistant- Video data

I am looking for volunteers to help with a behavioral ecology study on the Australian Grey Fantail. Volunteers will score behavioral data on breeding behavior from videos. Video was collected from two populations of fantails breeding in Mt. Buffalo National Park, Victoria, Australia. Work will involve watching videos in ‘real time’, recording the time target behaviors occur (e.g. feeding trips), and then entering the data into an Excel file. You will be sent copies of the video, so you can work in the comfort of your own home! You will need a personal computer.

To Apply:
If interested, please send a CV with cover letter detailing why you are interested in volunteering, contact information for two references, and indicate the number of hours you can commit per week, and how many weeks you can work. CV and letter must be sent as a single document. Include in the subject line “volunteer application”. Applications will be processed on arrival, with work to start ASAP. Send to: Dr. CHRISTA BECKMANN (EM: c.beckmann AT deakin.edu.au)

Qualifications:
No experience necessary, but color vision, patience, and a curious mind are advantageous! Access to the internet and a personal computer are required.
