Voluntariado en Panamá

VOLUNTEER FIELD ASSISTANTS (2 positions available) needed for February 1, 2011 to June 1, 2011
(dates somewhat flexible) to assist with a study on the foraging behavior of the tropical frog-eating
bat, Trachops cirrhosus. Work will be conducted at Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute facilities
both in the mainland town of Gamboa, and for the month of March on Barro Colorado Island. No prior
experience is required, but applicants should be comfortable working late at night. Work will include
mistnetting bats, recording frog and insect calls in the field, ecological surveys, and behavioral
experiments. Assistants are expected to work 5 days a week with 2 days off, and are encouraged to
pursue independent projects on their days off. I will cover housing and food, but no salary is
available. Assistants would need to cover their own travel to and from Panama City. If interested,
please send a resume and contact information for three references to PATRICIA JONES (email:
patricia.jones@mail.utexas.edu).
