Subject:<b> Volunteer Interns Needed for Prairie Dog and Small Mammal
Disease Study<br>
<br>
</b>The U.S. Geological Survey, Fort Collins Science Center has need
for<br>
volunteers to help with a research study on<b> the ecological affect
of<br>
sylvatic plague on small mammal populations at various sites in
Colorado,<br>
Utah and Montana.</b> This will be a multi-agency study affecting
threatened or<br>
endangered species (Utah prairie dog and black-footed ferret). This
study<br>
will include capture, handling, anaesthetizing, blood sampling,
radio<br>
telemetry (on the Montana site) and general census work on prairie
dogs and<br>
other small mammals. Learn about ecology, zoonotic diseases,
wildlife<br>
behavior and habitats, prairie dogs and other small mammals. Develop
field<br>
skills with handling wild animals, radio telemetry (on the Montana
site),<br>
wildlife census methods and have fun working in beautiful
surroundings.<br>
Field work will be conducted from April to October. Almost any
schedule can<br>
be accommodated but a 10 week minimum commitment is required because
of the<br>
training necessary. Shared housing and stipend ($15/day) will be
provided.<br>
Volunteers must be physically fit, able to lift 40 pounds, walk and
work in<br>
uneven terrain and must be willing to learn.<br>
