We are seeking 1-2 research assistants to help with field work on our NSF-funded study of the ecology of plague in prairie-dog colonies in shortgrass prairie in northern Colorado. Position will primarily involve live-trapping small mammals, collecting tissue and blood samples, and swabbing burrows for fleas. Other duties may include observing and quantifying animal behavior in the field, measuring vegetation and habitat characteristics on study areas, and laboratory work to identify fleas.
Undergraduate students interested in opportunities for independent research (Jun-Aug) related to the project should contact Dr. Paul Stapp, California State University Fullerton (714 278 2849; pstapp@fullerton.edu).
DATES: Full-time from early May through late September 2005 (~5 months)
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
* Previous field experience with live-trapping, handling and
marking small mammals, and willingness to learn and employ techniques for collecting blood and tissue samples on anesthetized animals.
* Positive attitude and ability to live and work with others in a
field setting.
* Good physical condition and willingness to work outdoors for
extended periods in variable weather conditions.
* Familiarity with computers, especially MS Excel.
* Valid driver's license.
DESIRABLE QUALIFICATIONS:
* Experience with retro-orbital bleeding and tissue collection.
* Interest in mammals, arthropods, ectoparasites (fleas), and
grassland ecology.
* Identification of fleas using microscope.
* Ability to use a GPS unit and to drive a 4WD vehicle.
SALARY: $1500/mo, plus shared, dormitory-style housing at the SGS Long-Term Ecological Research site near Nunn, Colorado, or similar accommodations.
TO APPLY:
Send email with attachment (Word or pdf) that includes a cover letter describing your interest and relevant qualifications, resume, and contact information (telephone number, email) for two references to Dr. Dan Salkeld, dsalkeld@lamar.colostate.edu. Positions are open until filled, but review of applications will begin 8 March 2005.
