Field assistant: study on cooperative reproduction and maternal investment in the Sociable weaver (Philetairus socius) in South Africa

CEFE CNRS, Montpellier / Percy Fitzpatrick Insitute, university of Cape Town

We are looking for a volunteer field assistant to help with the monitoring
of Sociable weaver's reproduction over a period of 3 months (from the
end of September to the end of December) at Benfontein Game Farm near
Kimberley, South Africa.

The work will include monitoring of breeding activity, behavioral
observations, capturing and measuring birds and data entering. The
candidate should have a strong interest in ecology and animal behavior
and be able to work in a small team during long days in quite isolated
field conditions. Previous field work experience on birds is preferable
but not required.

We will cover food and accommodation and will be able to contribute
towards traveling expenses.

If you are interested in applying and to learn more about the details
of the project, please send us a CV and a short motivation letter.
