Position Description:
I am looking for a field assistant for a pilot study from February 28-May 28, 2009 at the Pacuare Nature Reserve in Costa Rica. Unfortunately I do not have funding for this position so you would have to pay for yourself which would include travel (flight to San Jose Costa Rica and then small travel fees to the reserve) as well as room and board at the reserve ($160/week). My study is on 3 groups of wild capuchin monkeys and daily work would include following the study groups throughout the day, helping to test data collection methods, trail cutting and mapping, and identification of food items.
see http://turtleprotection.org/costa-rica/the-project.html for information about the reserve.
Qualifications/Experience:
Someone who is interested and has some knowledge of primatology. Spanish-speaking is a plus but not essential.
