Oferta de voluntariado: Censos de anfibios en Corea del Sur

We are looking for an assistant to conduct amphibian monitoring from mid-January to mid-June 2017. The main task will be the weekly count of breeding individuals at up to 30 sites in South Korea. The project aims at assessing the effects of climate change on the breeding phenology of
toads (Bufo gargarizans), Brown frogs (Rana uenoi), Gensan salamanders (Hynobius leechii) and Suweon Treefrogs (Dryophytes suweonensis). This project is under the responsibility of Pr. Jang Yikweon from Ewha W. University, Seoul, South-Korea.

The successful assistant should have a very strong interest in
amphibians and/or climate change, and general ecology. In addition,
he/she should be a good driver, as the monitoring requires long driving
hours from site to site. Experience with amphibians and willingness to
learn very basic Korean will be appreciated.

The assistant will be involved in several projects but will also have
the possibility to develop her/his own project. This project does
require a heavy time commitment, at times when humans, and amphibians,
are usually socially active. This project is recommended to recently
graduated bachelor or Master students, looking for the next step in
their scientific cursus. Anyone else interested is also welcome to send
an inquiry email.

Flights to and from Korea will be at the expense of the assistant, but
the lab will be providing financial assistance covering boarding and
food.
