FIELD ASSISTANTS NEEDED IN THE BAHAMAS

Job Description: 1-2 people are needed to assist a UCLA graduate student
in a study of brown anoles on the island of Great Exuma, Bahamas. The
project aims to understand how humans are impacting natural populations of
brown anoles through habitat alteration. The data collected during this
upcoming field season will help determine the role of natural selection in
driving intraspecific morphological variation. The primary responsibility
of the field assistants will be to catch large numbers of lizards for a
mark-recapture study. Other responsibilities will include data entry and
possibly marking the lizards.

Duration: November 7- 25, dates slightly flexible

Qualifications: Applicants must have experience working in the field and
must be proficient in Excel. Experience capturing and handling lizards is
strongly preferred. Applicants must be incredibly motivated and have
outstanding patience and focus.

Benefits: Lodging will be provided. The living conditions are extremely
good compared to most field situations: hot showers, full kitchen, and
proximity to beaches!

Additional Requirements: Assistants must pay for their airfare to and from
George Town, Great Exuma (from $300 to $500 depending on city of origin).
Assistants must also contribute $100 to pay for food.

To Apply: Please email (preferred), fax, or mail your cover letter, CV or
detailed resumé and a list of 3 references to
