Cedar Key Dolphin Project has a LAST MINUTE OPENING for a research intern for our current summer field season. We are looking for someone to join us in Cedar Key by July 1st, but the earlier the better. The field season runs until July 25th. While the position is unpaid, shared housing and food costs will be covered by the project for anyone who is not local to the area. The field season will be focused on gathering acoustic and behavioral data during specialized foraging tactics as part of a long-term study. Research will take place in Cedar Key, Florida, 3 hours north of Tampa and 60 miles west of Gainesville. A non-local, full-time assistant will be expected to work on a boat 6 to 7 days per week, for up to 10 hours at a time. Typical weather conditions in summer include 95 degree heat, high humidity, and no breezes. When the weather does not permit fieldwork, lab work will consist of photo matching, processing, and data entry. Applicants must be flexible, mature, and hard-working individuals. The team works and lives in close quarters for the duration of the season, so applicants must work well in small groups and have a positive attitude. Prior field experience with photo-ID and boat handling is preferred, but not required. Those with no experience should demonstrate their willingness to learn.
