EXPERIENCED FIELD ASSISTANTS
needed for monitoring and catching breeding passerines
at the Ludwig Maximilians University, Munich. Website:
http://www.tierisches-meunchen.bio.lmu.de Location: Munich, Bayern,
Germany.
Job description: The field assistants will help collecting breeding and
behavioural data on urban Great Tits (Parus major) from the beginning
of April 2015 to the end of June 2015. The aim of the research is to
assess the effects of key urban environmental traits â i.e. light,
noise, and temperature â on the local avifauna. Assistants will work
closely with a large, international team consisting of a post-doc,
Master and Bachelor students, as well as one other assistant. Field work
is physically demanding, and involves cycling with a ladder outdoors
in the city in all weather conditions. The breeding season is intense
and with typically only 1 day off per week. Duties include behavioural
observations, nest monitoring, bird handling (banding, measuring),
data entry and data management.
Qualifications/Experience: Candidates must have experience with
independent bird handling (preferably with small passerines), including
ringing and measuring. Candidates should have a BSc in Biology or a
related field. Ideal candidates are highly motivated, well organized
and able to work independently, while at the same time able to function
well in a big group. A financial compensation and housing will be
provided. German knowledge is beneficial.
Applications: Review of the applications will begin Mid-January and
continue until the positions are filled. To apply, please send (1)
a statement of relevant experience, (2) a short resume or CV, and (3)
contact information for two references to Philipp Sprau (EM: p.sprau
AT lmu.de).
