[ESSP] REU and job

Tue Mar 9 08:49:59 EST 2004

I am still getting internship notices every day and posting them on 
the bulletin board outisde my office door.  Come look at it! One came 
in today for SNARL (Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Lab) for a 
non-native fish project:

This position involves backpacking into remote study sites, and extensive
collection and examination of zooplankton.  Lakes are located in high
elevation wilderness areas and the research requires backpacking trips up to
a week in length.  Daily activities will include intensive zooplankton
sampling using a net and a float tube, carrying gear, and sharing campsite
responsibilities. Housing is provided.  There is also a stipend of 
$750 (or $500/month) to
cover food and help with other expenses.

The field work is physically demanding and applicants
should be able to hike 4-15 miles daily with a 40+ lb. backpack at altitudes
averaging 11,000 feet, work long hours, and spend several days at a time
camping in wilderness areas.  Back-country camping experience and gear are
necessary.

Application: Please send a resume, references and letter of interest to:
Drew Kramer
Department of Fisheries and Wildlife
Michigan State University
13 Natural Resources Bldg.
East Lansing, MI 48824
Deadline: April 9, 2003
For more information, please contact Drew Kramer (kramera3 at msu.edu), phone:

I also got this one today and knnow the person running this program. 
The Sevilleta is in NM and is just beautiful. It's an LTER site.  The 
description below has not details on projects but you can email for 
mor information. Deadline is March 22 and you'll have to get the 
application well ahead of time.

The Sevilleta LTER in Central New Mexico will offer two (2) Research
Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) opportunities during summer, 2004.

In direct association with a Sevilleta LTER faculty mentor, each REU
student will develop and conduct independent summer research on the
Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge. Students will participate in all
aspects of research, from planning projects and collecting field data
through computer data management and analysis, report preparation, and
oral presentations of results at a student symposium, and possibly at
the Ecological Society of America Meetings in Portland, Oregon. During
the course of the summer, students will gain training and experience in
plant and animal systematics, taxonomy, physiology, and ecological
relationships that emphasize trophic structure and ecosystem productivity.

Lodging and laboratory space for REU students will be provided by the
UNM Sevilleta Field Station. In addition, candidates chosen will receive
a stipend for the duration of the 12-week summer program (June-August).

Applications will be accepted from students at any stage of their
undergraduate program (freshman to senior) and any discipline, so long
as the applicant is interested in conservation biology and ecology.
Students are not eligible if they have completed an undergraduate degree
by Summer 2004. We welcome applications from students at four year
colleges, students that are the first member of their family to attend
college, non-traditional students, and students from traditionally
underrepresented groups. Applications will be accepted until March 22,
2004. For more information, including application forms, please visit
the sev.lternet.edu website.  You may also contact Scott Collins by email:
jjohnson at sevilleta.unm.edu with any questions.
