The Bottlenose Dolphin Research Institute (BDRI) www.thebdri.com is currently seeking research interns for the Winter 2007 (January - March 2007). Research interns participate in BDRI's ongoing research projects (more info in www.thebdri.com), giving them broad exposure to a variety to research methodologies (Photo-identification, Bioacoustics, Diving and surface behavioural analysis, etc). Other responsibilities may include but are not limited to data entry into the computer for analysis, library, and involvement in special projects. We support non-invasive and non-disruptive research. See accounts of our last Research assitents: www.thebdri.com/education/accounts.htm The winter period internship (January-March 2007) offers an excellent opportunity for motivated individuals to participate in field observations of bottlenose dolphins predating in a marine fin fish farm and to obtain laboratory training in photo-identification methodology and behavioural analysis under the mentorship of experienced bottlenose dolphin researchers. In addition, interns are required to complete a small project on an assigned relevant topic. Starting and ending dates are flexible. Our internships program is a full time voluntary position. Unfortunately, funds are very limited, there is no compensation for this internship position and successful applicants will be responsible for their living and transportation expenses during the time of the internship. Food and living space could be arranged for internships onsite (consult us the monthly fee). Moreover, the volunteer is in charge of providing an insurance that covers the risks of the volunteer itself when engaged in the field work. We anticipate filling this internship position by November, 2006.
