Intern positions (2) are available to help tag nesting sea turtles along
Florida's northwest coast from May 25 through August 15, 2010.
Researchers at the Florida Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit
at the University of Florida have been tagging nesting sea turtles along
the St. Joseph Peninsula, Florida since 1998. We are looking for two
interns to assist with this ongoing project. Surveys occur from 9 pm to
6 am every night along a 12-km stretch of beach and are conducted
primarily on ATV however walking is often required due to high water.
Expect to walk 5-10 km every night often over wet logs, downed trees and
through knee-deep water in complete darkness. Successful candidates
must be able to live and work closely with others in a remote area; be
organized, reliable, and able to work independently in extremely hot,
buggy and wet conditions; and have some previous experience conducting
field research. The position pays $500/month. Housing and utilities are
included.


If interested, please send a resume and letter of interest via e-mail by
May 13 to:
