MONITORING AVIAN PRODUCTIVITY AND SURVIVORSHIP (MAPS) PROGRAM. Many Field Biologist Interns (49) are needed to operate constant effort mistnetting and banding (MAPS) stations in the Northwest region (Alaska, Montana, Washington, and Oregon), California, the Western Midwest/Texas region (Kansas, Missouri, and Texas), and the Eastern Midwest/East region (Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia and Massachusetts). Interns are accepted into a given region and, after training, are assigned to a specific location. Join this continent-wide, cutting edge effort to determine the vital rates that cause changes in North American landbird populations. Although some prior birding experience is necessary, prior banding experience is not necessary. All internships include an intensive, two week training course in mistnetting, banding, and aging and sexing small landbirds. Flexibility, good physical condition, a tolerance of long days that begin before dawn and the ability to endure sometimes difficult field conditions are required. Applicants with good field vehicles are especially needed. A per diem ranging from approximately $408 to $896 per month (depending on location and experience) for food and other out-of-pocket expenses and shared housing are provided.
