Field research assistant on mammal ecology (Portugal)

Paid field research assistant position available in a project on ecology of freshwater semiaquatic mammals (mostly Iberian desman and otter) in Northern Portugal.

Work will start very shortly (mid-end of May 2015), there will be a break during August, and will begin again in September and possibly October, with the possibility that it will continue for the next year/s.

Autonomy, fluent Portuguese speaking, car driving license (and possibly experience in 4x4 car driving), and adaptability to difficult field working conditions are required. Statistics and GIS knowledge (and possibly programming skills!) would be an advantage.

Salary (35 euro per day) and accommodation (and probably food) will be provided.

The candidate will mainly assist with data collection and compilation, and report writing, but opportunities to participate as co-author in scientific papers could arise.

Interested candidates: please send me a private email
(lorenzo.quaglietta@gmail.com) with your CV, picture, short (no more than 300 words) motivation letter, 1-2 references.

Please note: ONLY selected candidates will be contacted and a Skype meeting will be scheduled for an interview.
