We are seeking to recruit up to six volunteer fieldworkers for the 2013 field season, which will run from early May to late October. Two positions will run the full six-month field season (approx. May - October), while the remaining posts will be divided evenly between the first and last three-month periods. The fieldwork will primarily involve daily follows of baboon troops on foot, collecting behavioural data from individually recognisable animals and their associated ecological conditions. Research in 2013 will be focused on the following two themes:
- Behavioural plasticity and the fitness effects of social information use
- Sexual conflicts over reproduction in social groups
