Voluntary field assistants required in the Pyrenees
Nick Barton’s group at the Institute of Science and Technology (IST) Austria requires volunteers to assist with field work on plant speciation in the Pyrenees (Spain) this coming summer (June – August). They are looking for hard working and enthusiastic biology students with a strong interest in working outdoors with plants. You must be meticulous with recording data and also be comfortable working as part of a team. Experience with field-based projects and plants is preferred but not essential. They require assistance between early June and the end of July. Depending on the year and the plants, they may extend their time into August. Length of stay is flexible but a minimum stay of 3 weeks is required.
