We seek a full-time technician (through July 2013) with expertise in movement and fish ecology to lead a field-based fish movement study in the Florida Everglades, Miami, FL. The study combines passive antenna and PIT tag technology with enclosures to examine fine scale fish movements and habitat selection in relation to seasonal hydrology. The study will be conducted at LILA, a working, 80-acre model of the Everglades ecosystem, www.fws.gov/loxahatchee/LILA.html<http://www.fws.gov/loxahatchee/LILA.html> and is affiliated with Everglades restoration efforts, and the Florida Coastal Everglades Long-term Ecological Research Program (http://fce.lternet.edu/). We seek someone with experience in fish tagging and tracking techniques, particularly the use of passive antennas (low Frequency Radio Frequency Identification-RFID) and PIT tag techniques to examine movement and habitat questions. Other qualifications include: strong field-based research experience, fish ecology experience, good management and organizational skills, and ability and desire to conduct demanding fieldwork under subtropical South Florida conditions. The position is open immediately (October 2012), and we hope to fill it by December 1, 2012. Salary is $2,000 to $2,500/month depending on experience for at least 8 months, with potential opportunities for continued work past July 2013.
