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 tits
species leaving at high elevation adapt to harsh environmental condition
during winter. Volunteer will help catching and banding birds in the
field, will run behavioral experiments in outdoor aviaries or in the
field and will help with video analysis. 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 (capture using miss-net) 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 2 weeks to 3 months, staring December 2016.
Volunteers will be under the direct supervision of Maxime Cauchoix (Post Doc, IAST) and Cécile Mahnich (Research engineer, Uottawa) 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). Having a car and a driving license is mandatory.
