MARINE CONSERVATION SURVEY: CETACEAN, PINNIPED, AND SEABIRD MONITORING
February 5th – 13th, 2016
The
Marine Conservation Survey is an international effort to gather much
needed scientific data regarding present environmental / biological
conditions found in the Loreto area of the Sea of Cortez. Research
interns will assist our Mexican conservation partner GEA (Grupos
Ecologistas Antares) with multiple marine transects (above and below the
surface) as well as other biological investigations in an effort to
better understand the fragile ecosytem of the Sea of Cortez. Research
interns may be exposed to an abundant number of marine life including
whale species such as the blue, sperm, brydes, humpback, finback, orca
and pilot whale. Dolphins and sea lions can also be found in high
numbers throughout the study site. All data collected will be available
to the local Marine Park of Loreto as well as various nature
conservation programs operating in the area.
No previous field
research experience is needed and interns of all ages are welcome.
Interns assisting us will want to have a “go with the flow attitude”, be
willing to share a small tent with another participant, possibly ride
in the back of pick up trucks, and participate in camp life such as
cooking, cleaning, and logistical chores. The internship cost is $950
per person for the 9 day session and is limited to 4 participants. The
cost includes food, camping accommodations, camping gear, and safety
equipment such as PFDs. Volunteers will be responsible for their
flight/bus to/from Loreto, Mexico. We have years of experience traveling
to Baja and may be able to give you some pointers on how to save some
money with plane or bus tickets.

MANGROVE MONITORING PROJECT
Mangrove monitoring interns will be directly assisting in marine conservation by conducting an in depth study of mangrove forests located in Magdelena Bay, Baja Mexico. The program is open to those wishing to gain valuable field experience while contributing to an important study in some of the most pristine mangrove areas left on earth. Using sea kayaks to navigate the dense labyrinth of mangrove forests, participants will collect samples, note climate and water conditions, photograph and film insects, birds, reptiles, mollusks and mammals that use the dense vegetation for food and cover. Species counts will also be conducted on barrier islands found along the Pacific coast. Using GPS systems, the density and distribution of each individual sighting will be added to a catalog of all species encountered over a five-year period. Participants will learn skills such as animal tracking techniques, GPS data collection, wildlife photography, desert and mangrove natural history, sea kayaking and other wilderness skills.
No previous kayaking or field research experience is needed and all kayaking is done in protected bays. Due to weather, tides and other factors that affect navigation, interns assisting us will want to have a “go with the flow attitude”, be willing to share a small tent with another participant, possibly ride in the back of pick up trucks, wade into deep mud, and participate in camp life such as cooking, cleaning, and logistical chores.
The internship cost is $950 per person for the 10 day session and includes all food, lodging, camping / kayak rentals etc. Volunteers will be responsible for their flight/bus to/from Loreto, Mexico. We have years of experience traveling to Baja and may be able to give you some pointers on how to save some money with plane or bus tickets.

Volunteers are expected to work 40 hours/week with additional weekend work when necessary.
Requirements: Must be physically fit and able to confidently ride a bike, hike up to three miles in the sand or on uneven terrain, lift 50 pounds and be willing to spray herbicide with proper protective gear. Successful applicants must also be willing to handle albatrosses and other seabirds for banding and monitoring studies, and be willing to perform all duties in sub-tropical wind, sun, rain and humidity extremes. Preferred skills include ability to swim/snorkel. Volunteers should have a strong work ethic along with the ability to live and work closely with a small group of people for six months.
Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge is a remote site and accessible by plane twice a month. Because of the isolated nature of this work, safety is of the utmost importance. Volunteers should be aware that evacuation for emergencies or medical issues can typically take at least 24 hours and be potentially very expensive. All volunteers will need to carry medical-evacuation insurance.
A current passport is required for travel to and from Midway. Volunteers are responsible for their own travel to Honolulu. One round-trip flight between Midway and Honolulu, meals and housing at Midway are provided. Volunteer living quarters include individual bedrooms, a common living area, and a full kitchen. Volunteers are responsible for the proper upkeep of their living quarters. The “Clipper House” on Midway serves cafeteria-style food with a wide variety of dishes, including vegetarian options and a full salad bar, courtesy of Midway’s hydroponic garden. There is also a small convenience store on Midway that provides some basics: toiletries, refreshments, etc. Because Midway is a small community where volunteers will be working and living with FWS employees and contractors, we cannot stress enough our zero tolerance policy for harassment or abuse of any kind, including alcohol or drug abuse.
Selected applicants will be sent a packet of additional information on the island, duties, and suggested items to bring, as well as required forms. These items must be submitted before the volunteer arrives for duty in Honolulu. A current physical, tetanus shot and TB test are also required.
Volunteer time periods and application deadlines: Exact start times may vary depending on plane schedules. Selected individuals should coordinate with Midway staff prior to making travel plans:

México ha determinado la introducción y dispersión de especies invasoras (IAS) como una amenaza significativa para la biodiversidad. Aunque México cuenta con algunos mecanismos para la prevención y control de especies invasoras, éstos se orientan más a las amenazas a la agricultura y la salud humana y no hacen énfasis a las amenazas a la biodiversidad. Por otra parte se ha prestado poca atención a las implicaciones para los sectores de producción e importación, responsables de la continua introducción de especies invasoras a los entornos naturales; tales como el comercio de acuarios, la acuicultura, productos de vida silvestre y silvicultura.
El Gobierno de México (GOM), a través del proyecto “Fortalecimiento de las capacidades nacionales para el manejo de especies invasoras a través de la implementación de la Estrategia Nacional de especies invasoras” financiado por el GEF e implementada por el PNUD, busca fortalecer las capacidades institucionales para transformar y ampliar el alcance de sus sistemas de gestión de las especies invasoras, aprovechando el impulso generado por la publicación en 2010 de la Estrategia Nacional sobre Especies Invasoras (ENEI).
El proyecto que ya se encuentra en implementación desde mediados de junio 2014 se enfoca de manera especial al desarrollo y aplicación de nuevas herramientas de toma de decisiones, recursos de información y capacidades técnicas y financieras que permitan a México poner en práctica su visión nacional para la gestión de las especies invasoras. Además, el proyecto promueve las políticas, normas y herramientas para reducir o eliminar las prácticas nocivas en los sectores AAWF, y desarrolla la experiencia práctica y conocimientos sobre la gestión de las especies invasoras mediante la aplicación de programas integrados en sitios seleccionados que abarcan los ecosistemas de alta prioridad.

Enlace.
São Paulo, Belém, and Manaus (Brazil)
Up to 2 years
Post-doc
Application Deadline: 12/31/2015
We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow to contribute to the project "Dimensions US / Biota São Paulo - Assembly and evolution of the Amazonian biota and its environment: an integrated approach", co-funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP, Brazil), the National Science Foundation (NSF, USA), and NASA. The Amazon is Earth's most iconic center of biological diversity and endemism, harboring the world’s largest freshwater ecosystem, and contributing substantially to shaping the Earth's climate. Despite this importance, we still have an incomplete understanding of how this biome developed over time, which in turn limits our ability to understand future impacts of biodiversity loss and climate change. The project “Dimensions US - Biota São Paulo: Assembly and evolution of the Amazonian biota and its environment: an integrated approach” seeks to understand the evolutionary and environmental-ecological history of Amazonia over the past 10 million years, through a comparative approach integrating systematic biology and phylogenetics, phylogeography, population genetics, ecosystem structure and function, geosciences, and paleoenvironmental history. The appointee will analyze population genomic datasets of Amazonian birds and primates; address biogeographic questions and test hypotheses of the assembly and evolution of Amazonian biota; interact with Earth scientists to interpret biogeographic patterns and processes, and to disseminate their findings by publishing in internationally renowned journals and presenting in scientific conferences. The results of these analyses will have a major impact on the interpretation of the evolutionary history of the Amazon Basin.
Qualifications:
The ideal candidate will have a PhD in Biological Sciences, combining a solid knowledge of population genetic, phylogeographic, phylogenetic, and/or diversification analyses of Neotropical diversity and of Neotropical environmental history. The candidate is also expected to have experience in analyzing genomic data, particularly data obtained with ultraconserved elements (UCE) probes, but should have a good understanding of other types of NGS data. A track record of publication in international journals and relevant statistical and programming skills are expected.
Compensation:
The monthly salary is of R$ 6,143.40 while in Brazil (at current exchange rate approximately $ 1,600 / € 1,500), allowing for comfortable living, and includes additional Research Contingency Funds equal to 15% of the annual salary for covering research-related expenses. Moving expenses are covered for candidates from outside the State of São Paulo. Full details can be found at http://www.fapesp.br/en/5427.
To Apply:
Candidates of any nationality eligible for a VITEM I Brazilian visa may apply. A cover letter, CV, up to three relevant publications and the names of three contacts able to provide letters of recommendation should be emailed to amazonianbiota@gmail.com. Applications are due by Dec 31st, 2015. Informal inquiries may be made to Diogo Meyer (diogo@ib.usp.br), Camila Ribas (camilaribas@inpa.gov.br), Alexandre Aleixo (aleixo@museu-goeldi.br), and Tomas Hrbek (hrbek@evoamazon.net).

PhD in the UK. Seals and seabirds.
Three competitive PhD studentship opportunities are available in evolutionary and ecological genetics at Durham University, UK. These 3.5-year fellowships provide a full tuition fee waiver at Durham University, a competitive living stipend, and a considerable research allowance. For more information about these projects see here or contact Dr. Andreanna Welch at a.j.welch@durham.ac.uk.
1) The effects of maternal stress response and microbiome on seal pup condition and survival
Co-supervised with Sean Twiss
Maternal effects are now recognised as important contributors to phenotypic variation. One potential mechanism that has been largely overlooked is via the transfer of beneficial bacteria during birth and through lactation. Studies in humans have shown that these bacteria provide many health benefits to the young, but that communities transferred can be influenced by the mother’s condition and stress level. Adult grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) exhibit consistent individual differences in behaviour with some mothers showing high levels of responsiveness to stressors while others show little. The student will apply recently developed metagenomic techniques to investigate this potential short-term fitness consequence of maternal coping style. Seals are among the few animal species for which coping styles have been identified and linked with fitness consequences in wild populations. However, the mechanisms through which behavioural responses to stress modulate offspring condition and survival remain essentially unknown. Given that wildlife are increasingly impacted by anthropogenic influences, and that behaviour is often the first form of response to environmental changes, this project will provide important insights towards understanding how stress may influence individual fitness as well as future population trajectories.
Eligibility: Primarily UK nationals
Deadline for consideration: January 15th, 2016
2) Tracking the impact of Holocene environmental change in Patagonia on pinniped distribution, abundance and dispersion using ancient DNA
Co-supervised with Rus Hoelzel
When environments change, as during the current process of anthropogenic climate change, regional populations may respond by migrating to track suitable habitat, they may expand, decline or go extinct, or they may adapt. In this study the student will employ next generation sequencing methods, ancient DNA, and coalescent analyses to determine past demographic profiles of two sympatric pinniped species with contrasting life histories along the coast of Patagonia, a region of major transitions during the Holocene. Thus students will have the opportunity to test hypotheses about the importance of various environmental parameters. Understanding these dynamics will become increasingly critical for effective management and nature reserve design to promote conservation in the future as environments change. This will also improve our understanding of the process of biodiversity evolution, which is determined by both effective population size and connectivity.
Eligibility: Primarily UK nationals
Deadline for consideration: January 22nd, 2016
3) Reconstructing the evolutionary history of ecological dynamics and extinction risk in Procellariiform seabirds
During their evolutionary history, birds have colonized the open oceans beyond the continental shelves only rarely. The Procellariiformes (albatrosses, shearwaters, storm- petrels, etc.) are by far the largest group of oceanic birds, but their molecular phylogeny is poorly known. As part of an international collaboration, the student will use capture enrichment and next generation sequencing methods to collect a rich genomic dataset and resolve the phylogeny of all extant and recently extinct Procellariiformes, at and below the species level. This will advance our understanding of the evolutionary history of oceanic birds, allow exploration of the role of ecology in diversification, and inform conservation management of this globally-threatened group.
Eligibility: All nationalities
Deadline for consideration: January 4th, 2016
