The project examines the effects of altered phenology on plant-pollinator interactions and plant reproduction.

The successful applicant will assist a Ph.D. student in the field by
altering phenology through snowpack manipulation, conducting phenology
censuses, observing plant-pollinator interactions, measuring floral
characters, and manipulating pollination. Previous experience in field
biology or plant-insect interactions is preferred but not required.
Individuals with a BA or BS in a relevant field are encouraged to apply.
The work is fun but physically demanding, especially initially when cross
country skiing into the field sites may be necessary and many hours are
spent shoveling snow.

The position is available from early May until mid August 2012. I can offer
travel reimbursement, housing and a small stipend. The position does not
come with benefits (health, retirement, etc).

To apply, please send a resume or CV and *brief* cover letter (nothing
fanciful, please) as a single email attachment (preferably pdf). Please
include the names and contact information for two references (email and
phone numbers, and a brief description of how you know the recommender).
The cover letter should explain why you are interested in the position.
Information about how this position would relate to your previous research
experience and/or career goals is encouraged. In the subject of the email,
please put: RMBL Summer Field Assistant.

Applications should be sent to: Zak Gezon: zachariah.j.gezon@dartmouth.edu.
To receive full consideration, please apply by April 1, 2012, although
applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
