RESEARCH INTERNS (3-4) needed for approximately 6-8 months in the Avian Ecology Program at Archbold Biological Station, directed by Dr. Reed Bowman. Our research focuses primarily on the demography, ecology, and behavior of the Federally Threatened Florida Scrub-Jay. Interns contribute to several aspects of this research, but their duties primarily focus on searching for and monitoring nests, conducting periodic censuses of color-banded birds, and habituating young-of-theyear birds for subsequent trapping. In addition, interns may assist in surveys of jay populations at other sites, trapping and banding jays, mapping territories, measuring and bleeding adult and nestling birds, processing blood samples, and counting acorns and arthropods. Interns are expected to devote a minimum of 50% of their time to our long-term projects and to devote the rest of their time to an independent project on some aspect of the ecology of scrub-jays, although some interns have worked on other species. Internships offer an opportunity for experience in every aspect of scientific research, from project choice and experimental design to oral and written presentations. These internships are excellent preparation for students intending to pursue graduate school (see "The Postbac: One or two years that make careers," in Science Careers, from the 10 Aug. 2007 issue of Science) Applicants should be interested in birds, ecology and evolution, and natural history. Applicants must also possess a strong desire to engage in independent research, the ability to work under hot, humid field conditions, and enjoy working as part of a team. Successful applicants have completed their undergraduate degree, and have field experience that includes resighting color banded birds, finding and monitoring nests, conducting animal surveys, vegetation sampling, and using GPS, and are seeking to prepare themselves for graduate school. As ecologists, we understand the importance of diversity and encourage applications from individuals belonging to groups under-represented in ecology. Internships include a $100 weekly pay, breakfast, lunch, and a stipend for additional meals, dormitory-style housing shared with several roommates, and expenses associated with their independent project. Opportunities for graduate research also exist. All positions begin in mid-late January but duration is flexible, from 6-months (through July) to 8-months (through September) and some flexibility exists in both start and end dates. To apply, please send a single pdf titled with your surname that includes: (1) a cover letter outlining relevant educational and work experience, research interests and experience, and how you believe an internship in our lab will help you achieve your goals, (2) a resume or CV, (3) unofficial transcripts, and (4) the names and contact information of three references by 13 October 2017 , to Dr. Angela Tringali (atringali AT archbold-station.org) and Dr. Reed Bowman (rbowman AT archbold-station.org). Please include “2018 Avian Ecology Intern Application” in the subject of your email. Those without access to email may mail or fax their applications to The Avian Ecology Program, Archbold Biological Station, 123 Main Dr. Venus, FL 33960; (PH: 863-659-4825, FX: 863-465-4278).

Job Description The Everglades Systems Assessment Section of the South Florida Water Management District in West Palm Beach, FL seeks an ecologist to join a multi-disciplinary team assessing the effectiveness of restoration activities on Everglades ecosystem recovery. The position will play a major role in field and data analyses for several large-scale projects, including the Loxahatchee Landscape Assessment (LILA) Project, the Decompartmentalization Project (DPM), and Adaptive and Active Marsh Improvement Projects throughout the entire Everglades landscape.    This position has a large field component and the successful candidate should have field experience in ecosystem hydrology, with an emphasis on linking ecohydrology with plant, soil and faunal responses.  Specifically, this position will assist in: 1) the assessment of stage changes by deploying and collecting water depth data loggers and will be responsible for the data management and analysis of water depth data; 2) flow measurement and characterization using acoustic Doppler velocity (ADV) meters, both static and handheld; 3) the assessment of groundwater and surface water interactions;  4) understanding the effect of vegetation on velocity and patterns with field measurements, field experiments, and computer modeling; and 5) integration and synthesis of data to evaluate sediment movement and distributions in the Everglades.   Employment Guidelines Typically has a Bachelor’s degree (Masters preferred) in ecohydrology, hydrology, ecology, environmental science, or related subject with at least two years relevant experience.  Candidates should have a basic understanding of experimental design, ADV meters, stage recorders, and fluid mechanics. Primary responsibilities will be divided between field work (approximately 60%) and data analysis and publication (approximately 40%).  Field work requires the ability to conduct physically demanding work effectively in remote areas.  The assessment of hydrologic drivers requires the compilation, management, and statistical analysis of data and the production of technical reports and manuscripts. Expertise and experience using statistics is required, with proficiency in the use of PC-based spreadsheets, graphics, and statistical software (preferably R, JMP or SAS).   License Valid State of Florida Driver's License Physical Requirements/ Working Environment Due to the District's response role and in the total scope of emergency management, this position may at times, be required to provide support before, during and after major storm events and emergency situations, such as hurricanes or other declared emergencies, depending on assigned emergency response role.
