analysis, secretarial duties when necessary, web searches, organization of
material, analysis of sea otter scat samples and field work collecting abundance
and behavioral information, feeding ecology and himan disturbance parameters.

shifts.Some boat work may be involved.

intern) in household (no commuting to office which is in same building) and

their own travel to Monterey Bay. The rest of the time the intern could seek
employment in the area or have off.

Natural Sciences, data entry experience, computer skills and some field work
experience. Selection of candidates is competitive. Please send a letter of
