To whom this might reach,
I am a PhD student in Ecology at Umeå University and I am just about to
leave for a field work tour across the Arctic. Due to sudden matters my
field assistant can’t make it and I am therefore looking for someone to
replace her. First and foremost, I need someone who can work a week in
Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard 19-26th of July.
My research project focus on the large scale effect on reindeer grazing
on Arctic vegetation and I am re-inventorying old reindeer exclosures
across the Arctic. The tasks in the field are simple, the person we hire
would mostly keep protocol during vegetation analyses and NDVI,LAI and
Albedo measurements and perform pellet count transects. I would very
much like to find someone with experience of the field situation in
Svalbard (I am mostly thinking of the risk of polar bears), experience
with handling weapons will be meritorious.
If you are interested, send me and e-mail with a short presentation of
yourself and how I can reach you, elin.lin...@umu.se
<mailto:elin.lin...@umu.se>. Unfortunately time is short and I will need
to make a decision about this pretty much today.
Cheers,
Elin
