Gain invaluable avian banding skills while working in beautiful western Montana. Work on an ongoing long-term study of the evolutionary ecology of western and mountain bluebird populations.

Must be comfortable working alone and be physically fit (capable of carrying a moderately heavy backpack during daily 5+ miles of mountain hiking). Expect to work long days, with early morning starts, six days a week. Prior experience working with birds not required, but prior field work experience is highly desirable.

Both positions continue through July, with a possibility of extending into August. A monthly stipend of $1400 to cover living expenses will be provided. We can also provide some reimbursement for travel to the Montana field site. Must have reliable vehicle for commuting to field sites.
