Four Field Interns are needed for field work in Alaska for the summer of 2007. The work will include operating mist-netting and banding (MAPS) stations as well as target netting yellow wagtails and arctic warblers. Interns will be based out of two field sites in Nome and Umiat. The primary goal of the project is to collect samples from migratory landbirds to determine presence of avian flu. Internships are from 7 June through 11 August. Applicants must have previous bird experience and be comfortable and enthusiastic about working in remote field situations. Prior songbird banding experience (for all four positions) and small boat/outboard operation experience (for the Umiat positions) are strongly desired. Shared housing, cost of travel to and within Alaska, and $36/day for food and other out-of-pocket expenses (for a 55 day season, totaling $1,980) are provided. To apply, please send a resume, cover letter, and the names and email addresses of three references to AMY FINFERA, The Institute for Bird Populations, PO Box 1346, Point Reyes Station, CA 94956.
