My orginal text: I am an undergraduate student who will be graduating this March. I was wondering is there is a similar ListServ that is focused more on the western U.S. States? I really enjoy the topics and opportunities of this listserv but feel it's east coast biased, which I understand since it's from the University of Maryland.
I am interested in workshops, graduate opportunities and employment for myself and other field biologist students. I am in the Los Angeles area and am looking to specialize in ornithology, but any opportunities are welcomed as i am always willing to pass on to qualified people. Please let me know if there are other listserve's I can be apart of. Thank you, Rena Escobedo I want to thank all that gave their wisdom to the situation of the west coast opportunities. I am still up to hearing more information as it comes. I may have narrowed in down to bird suggestions only, but I am interested in all disciplines from herpetology, public policy to marine biology. I have posted the replies I received below: I'm originally from northern California, but I don't know of any west coast oriented list servers. But I can suggest some good job/internship websites. conservation jobs: http://www.conservationbiology.org/jobs/ http://www.ecoemploy.com/jobs/ internships: http://www.eco.org/site/apps/kb/cs/contactsearch.asp? c=dnJLKPNnFkG&b=1046793&raw=&Submit=Submit natureconservancy: http://www.nature.org/jobs.html?x=1&skey=post_date federal jobs: www.usajobs.com www.avuedigitalservices.com I hope this helps Belinda Lo I have put over 400 URLs of websites with wildlife or environmental job opportunities online. It's sorely outdated, but I am currently working on an overhaul that should be completed soon. The site is located at http://www.netonecom.net/~mlj/mlj/links_jobs.html or via www.pherkad.com The best sites are Texas A&M, Conservation Biology, U-Montana Wildlife Dept, TWS-Western Section, etc. I hope it helps you find some job announcements out west. Sincerely, Marci You might try adding yourself to the Western Section of The Wildlife Society list serv. The Western Section is mostly California and Nevada folks, so being in Los Angeles might be a good fit for you. http://www.tws-west.org/ Also, our company is also currently hiring at the Field Biologist level. Take a look at our web site in my signature below. If that interests you, consider submitting a resume. Kim You can join birdjobs-L. It's through cornell but has lots of west coast birding jobs. We have MAPS positions open for this summer and other positions too. www.birdpop.org Phil
