Dear all,
We seek a full-time technician (through July 2013) with expertise in
movement and fish ecology to lead a field-based fish movement study in the
Florida Everglades, Miami, FL. The study combines passive antenna and PIT
tag technology with enclosures to examine fine scale fish movements and
habitat selection in relation to seasonal hydrology. The study will be
conducted at LILA, a working, 80-acre model of the Everglades ecosystem,
www.fws.gov/loxahatchee/LILA.html<http://www.fws.gov/loxahatchee/LILA.html>
and is affiliated with Everglades restoration efforts, and the Florida
Coastal Everglades Long-term Ecological Research Program
(http://fce.lternet.edu/).
We seek someone with experience in fish tagging and tracking techniques,
particularly the use of passive antennas (low Frequency Radio Frequency
Identification-RFID) and PIT tag techniques to examine movement and habitat
questions. Other qualifications include: strong field-based research
experience, fish ecology experience, good management and organizational
skills, and ability and desire to conduct demanding fieldwork under
subtropical South Florida conditions.
The position is open immediately (October 2012), and we hope to fill it by
December 1, 2012. Salary is $2,000 to $2,500/month depending on experience
for at least 8 months, with potential opportunities for continued work past
July 2013.
To apply, please submit a CV, list of at least three references, and letter
describing training and experience relevant to this position to Dr. Jennifer
Rehage, reha...@fiu.edu.<mailto:reha...@fiu.edu.>
Please forward to interested parties.
