Position Description:
I am looking for a student to help in a PhD study of the gestural communication in wild East African chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii). The assistant will contribute to the project by watching video footage and noting the presence of gestures and behavioural context.
This is an excellent opportunity for an undergraduate student who would like to proceed towards a graduate degree in primatology or related areas to gain experience in video analyses of primate behaviour.
Qualifications/Experience:
Students with undergraduate qualifications in psychology, biology, zoology, anthropology or a related discipline are encouraged to apply. I am based in Oxford, so residency in Oxford or easy travelling distance to Oxford is a plus. Access to television to watch the footage on is necessary.
Salary/funding:
none provided
Term of Appointment:
June 2008
Comments:
I am looking for someone to start the work as soon as possible (ideally in June 2008). Please email me your CV and email addresses of three referees if you are interested in this work.
