Shorebird Volunteer Opportunity in Alaska=20
SHOREBIRD VOLUNTEER. Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge is looking for
2 volunteers to assist with a breeding population study of the
Bristle-thighed Curlews from 1 May to 6 July 2012. The job can be
extended an additional four weeks until August 4 if the volunteer wishes
to help with waterfowl or fisheries projects.=20
This is a great opportunity to work on a rare and unique species and
gain experience working at a remote field location in Alaska. Field work
will include surveying curlews and other birds at point counts,
delineating breeding territories, conducting behavioral observations,
searching for and monitoring nests and broods, capturing and color
banding adults, resighting marked individuals, documenting predators,
and gathering information about weather conditions, prey items, and
habitat use. When not in the field, interns will help with field
logistics, gear maintenance, and data entry.=20
The field site is at a remote wilderness location in western Alaska that
is accessible by helicopter only. Camp life is communal, with a common
cook tent, individual sleeping tents, and few amenities. Field personnel
will be required to hike 6-12 miles per day over rugged tundra-covered
hills and through shrub-filled drainages under a variety of weather
conditions. Snow is present in May, temperatures can range from 20-80s,
and conditions are often wet and windy. Working conditions may also
include dense clouds of mosquitoes and other biting insects and possible
close encounters with moose or bear.=20
To qualify, you must be available no later than 1 May and be in
excellent physical condition. We are seeking applicants that are
self-motivated, enthusiastic, and can work effectively as part of a
team. A strong interest in birds and prior experience camping in a
remote setting is desired.=20
Initial training (bear safety; firearms safety; aircraft safety) is
mandatory. The Refuge will provide food, lodging, transport to and from
the field site, most field equipment, and round trip airfare from
Anchorage, Alaska to Bethel.=20
Please send a letter (highlighting relevant experience), resume,
transcripts, and the names and contact information (e-mail preferred) of
three references to Kristine Sowl at kristine_sowl@xxxxxxx OR Yukon
Delta National Wildlife Refuge, Box 346, Bethel, AK 99559. Applications
will be accepted until the positions are filled.=20
