Dear Marmamers, We will be seeking 1 or 2 field assistants for the *Cedar Key Dolphin Project* 2020 field season this upcoming summer, between June and September (up to 12 weeks). *While exact dates for the field season have not been set and we are currently not accepting formal applications, a few staff members and students associated with the program will be present at the WMMC in Barcelona (Dec 9-12). If you will also be in attendance at the conference and wish to speak to one of our associates about the position, please email ckdolphinproject@gmail.com <ckdolphinproject@gmail.com> to request a meeting time.* The field season will be focused on gathering acoustic recordings, behavioral data, and drone footage during a specialized foraging tactic as part of the project’s ongoing research. Fieldwork will take place in Cedar Key, Florida, 3 hours north of Tampa and 60 miles west of Gainesville. Preference will be given to applicants who can stay for the duration of the season. The 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, very high humidity, and no breezes. When the weather does not permit fieldwork, work will consist of photo matching, processing, and data entry. This is a *volunteer position*. Assistants will be responsible for arranging their own transportation to Florida, but housing and food will be covered while on-site. Prior field experience with photo-ID and boat handling is preferred, but not required. Those with no experience should demonstrate their willingness to learn. Since we will be living and working closely, applicants must work well in teams and have a positive attitude.
