Asistentes de Campo. Jamaica.
We're looking for field technicians to work on a study of American Redstarts, Yellow Warblers, and Ovenbirds in Jamaica. Project dates are approximately January 10th to May 15th. Assistants can expect 8-10 hours in the field, six days per week, walking in flooded mangrove forests sometimes inhabited by crocodiles and maneuvering through dense and thorny second growth scrub. Flexibility with hot, buggy working conditions, work schedule, and living situation is absolutely key to success at this position. Competitive applicants will be very self-motivated, have the ability to re-sight and follow tiny color-banded birds and extract songbirds quickly and safely from mist nets. Experience collecting foraging behavioral data on small songbirds and banding and bleeding experience are all preferred, but not required. The majority of field work (80%) will involve mapping warbler territories, but will also include some banding, vegetation measurements, and data entry. This is an all-expenses paid volunteer position (i.e., no salary, but travel to and from Jamaica as well as home-cooked Jamaican food and comfortable seaside lodging are provided). Our funding agency has encouraged us to promote "broadening participation in biology", so we strongly encourage applicants from underrepresented groups (particularly if Jamaican or otherwise Caribbean) to apply. Non-U.S. citizens may apply but we can only cover airfare from North America or the Caribbean to Jamaica. We are also considering hiring a Yellow Warbler crew leader who would receive a stipend (approx. $200/ week); if you feel you are particularly well qualified, please note your interest in the crew leader position and whether you would still be interested in the field assistant position if you are not selected as the crew leader. Crew leader applicants should have strong organizational skills, experience in an independent field leadership role and be proficient at target netting and banding small songbirds. Send an email with the subject “Jamaican Field Assistant” or "Jamaican Crew Leader" to Mer Mietzelfeld (SetophagaPetechia@gmail.com) by October 6th, 2014. There should be only one PDF attached called LastnameFirstname.pdf that includes the following: 1)a one page max cover letter, 2)a resume/CV, and 3)contact info for 3 references.

Volunteer - research on amphibians and reptiles in Costa Rica
Project description: I am looking for volunteers to assist with data collection for my dissertation research on community composition of amphibians and reptiles over the course of tropical secondary forest succession in Costa Rica. This experience will be beneficial to any students interested in research in ecology, herpetology, and the tropics. Costa Rica has a rich diversity of amphibians and reptiles (and other animals and plants) and there are lots of opportunities to see amazing wildlife while helping out on this study.
Location: Sarapiquí, Costa Rica (and potentially the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica)
Duties:
Assist in data collection on amphibian and reptiles during diurnal and nocturnal transect surveys and help collect basic habitat data. Applicants should be interested in biology/ecology/nature, be willing to learn, HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE, be in good physical and mental health, and be ready to participate in fieldwork that consists of long days/nights (8+ hours) in the field, where getting muddy and bit by insects is part of the job. Participants must be willing to work 4-5 days (or nights) a week.
Benefits include:
(1) Identification and knowledge of the biology of amphibians and reptiles of Costa Rica
(2) Learning standard survey techniques
(3) Fieldwork experience in the tropics
This is a volunteer position and assistants will be responsible for paying their own travel costs to and from Costa Rica. I can provide lodging in the house I rent (a very small 2-bedroom house) as well as some basic food staples. Alternatively, you can find your own lodging or pay to stay at the field station where some of my field sites are located (La Selva Biological Station).
Time Period:
I am seeking volunteers any time during the duration of the project, November 2014 – November 2016. Preference will be given to people who can commit at least 3 weeks.

Salary: $50,000 per year plus benefits
Annual budget: up to $25,000, with additional dedicated and opportunistic uses of Shedd’s 80-foot research vessel, Coral Reef II
Position summary:
The John G. Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, Illinois is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral research associate focusing on benthic marine invertebrate ecology in The Bahamas. Specifically, we are interested in a postdoctoral research associate who will be responsible for developing a robust research program focusing on Queen Conch (Strombus gigas). Preference will be given to proposals that focus on reproductive ecology, deep-water surveys, and/or testing the efficacy of mitigation strategies for improving recruitment. Research is expected to be multifaceted, inform resource managers, and advance conservation and sustainable practices. The selected associate is expected to work closely with the Bahamas National Trust and the non-government organization Community Conch to ensure the program is holistic and inclusive.
The associate is expected to use approaches that may include conducting research to determine the environmental requirements critical for the subject species and its habitats, and evaluating the efficacy of current species management efforts and analyzing how management may be adapted to better meet conservation objectives. Preference will be given to candidates who have demonstrated an ability to partner with local stakeholders so that they have a greater role in studying, assessing, and managing resources. The associate is expected to work closely with management agencies such as the Bahamas Department of Marine Resources and the Bahamas National Trust. Research involvement with other Shedd departments (e.g. Animal Health, Fishes) is advantageous. The associate is also expected to participate in relevant workshops, present seminars at various venues, and to publish their data in a timely fashion.
Qualifications:
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in ecology, marine science, natural resource management, zoology, or related field. The position requires strong field research skills, database management and analyses, and ability to communicate at an academic and general-public level. Experience with grant acquisition, and publishing in peer-reviewed and general outlets is expected. Applicants must have a real interest in interdisciplinary applied science and have the ability to work independently and under limited supervision. SCUBA certification is required.
To apply: Please send a curriculum vitae, a letter describing your background, relevant research experience and proposed research ideas. Please also provide names and contact information for three references. The letter, CV, and reference information should be sent to Megan Huck (jobs@sheddaquarium.org). To discuss the specifics of this position contact Dr. Chuck Knapp (cknapp@sheddaquarium.org).
About Queen Conch:
The Queen Conch is a large herbivorous gastropod indigenous to the Caribbean region, second only to spiny lobster in economic importance for its meat and shell products. The species has been listed as threatened by CITES since 1985, and is currently under review for endangered species status by the US government. Fisheries for the species have been closed in many nations within its distribution because of population depletions, and recent surveys in The Bahamas (an exporting nation) have shown rapid declines in abundance. Evidence for overfishing includes changes in population density, age structure, mating and egg-laying frequencies, depth distributions, and catch per unit effort. Recent research activity in The Bahamas can be found at www.communityconch.org
