We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic volunteer to help
with an exciting project on bird ecology developed in the French
Pyrenees. The overall goal of the project is to understand how
inter-individual differences in cognitive abilities varies according to
ecological conditions. Volunteer will help catching and banding birds in
the field and will run behavioral experiments in outdoor aviaries. This
internship will provide the volunteer a diverse experience on cognitive
sciences, behavioural ecology and evolutionary biology. Additionally,
being based at the Station of experimental Ecology of Moulis (SEEM) they
will have the opportunity to discover one of the nicest and wildest
area in the south of France.
Although some knowledge in ornithology and biology would be a plus, highly motivated applications from any field will be considered with high interest.
Duration of the internship is flexible from 1 to 3 months, staring October 2015.
Volunteers will be under the direct supervision of Maxime Cauchoix (Post Doc, IAST) and will have the opportunity to collaborate with Alexis Chaine (Researcher, CNRS, SEEM).
We cannot offer any salary but we are happy to help students getting individual travel scholarship from their respective university and to pay for their accommodation (housing only) at the SEEM (150 €/month).
