Summer field assistants wanted, salt marsh research

Dr. Steve Pennings has openings for two field assistants to work with his group this summer on community ecology projects with salt marsh crabs and insects. For more information about his research, see http://www.bchs.uh.edu/~steve/. Work will involve vigorous activity outdoors in hot, muddy, buggy conditions. Projects will be based in coastal Georgia, with some travel, and can start as early as mid April and extend as late as late September. Housing provided; salary commensurate with experience but around $10/h. Applicants with field research experience preferred; ability to work both independently and as part of diverse group essential. Email resume and cover letter describing your interests and career goals, and have one letter of reference emailed to Steve Pennings, Department of Biology and Biochemistry, University of Houston, spennings@uh.edu. Indicate when you would be available to start work, and how late in the summer you would be available. Applications will be reviewed as received; do not apply after March 31.
