A fantastic opportunity not only to dive off a pristine tropical island for several months, but also to gain invaluable marine biology experience, with almost all expenses paid for!
I am looking for a few field assistants to work on coral reef fish behaviour based at Lizard Island Research Station, northern Great Barrier Reef, Australia. You will be assisting my fieldwork as a PhD student based at the University of Cambridge, researching the social structure of the bicolor dwarf angelfish, Centropyge bicolor. The work will largely consist of fish behaviour field observations, by diving or snorkeling.
3 or 6 month positions are available: October to December 2007, and/or January to March 2008.
The position is unpaid, but all accommodation, diving and food expenses will be provided for, so you will have essentially no living expenses whilst on the island. You must however cover all other expenses (travel, personal incidentals, etc.) For details of accommodation and life on Lizard Island, please see the Lizard Island Research Station website: http://www.lizardisland.net.au/.
You must have at minimum PADI Advanced Open Water or equivalent certification and experience diving tropical reefs (minimum 30 dives). Some relevant field research experience, being a hard worker and a strong interest in marine biology and behavioural ecology are also preferred.
Please send applications (CV and cover letter) or enquiries ASAP (esp. for Oct-Dec 2007 positions) to tzozen (at) gmail (dot) com.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing from you!
