BIRD BANDING IN AMERICAN SAMOA (U.S. Citizens ONLY): The Institute for Bird Populations (IBP) seeks one (1) field biologist interns to operate constant effort mist-netting and banding stations on American Samoa from Oct 20, 2014 through March 31, 2015. The position entails banding a minimum of 6 out of every 10 days, depending on weather and logistical considerations. We are looking for enthusiastic, self-motivated individuals, with some experience being independent in the field, and a solid background in mist-netting, bird banding, and ageing and sexing landbirds using plumage characteristics. Applicants without strong bird banding skills will not be considered. A U.S. passport valid for the duration of the internship, and a valid driver's license are required. We particularly encourage previous MAPS interns to apply. Roundtrip airfare to American Samoa from San Francisco and free shared housing will be provided in addition to a per diem of $35 for each day in the field (for an approximate total of $3,320.00 for the season). Interns will be responsible for operating 6 TMAPS mist-netting stations, liaising with Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources personnel on American Samoa, and submitting monthly progress reports to IBP's main office. Funding is still pending, but we encourage you to apply.
