Field Assistants Needed -- Yellowstone National Park
Field assistants are needed for a continuing NSF-funded study
of the ecological information contained within modern, surface
bone accumulations (the remains of past generations) in
Yellowstone National Park. This study examines patterns of
decay and species representation in different habitats of
Yellowstone in order to investigate the utility of modern bone
accumulations as additional sources of data for use in
conservation and management efforts. In addition,
understanding how ecological information is represented by
bone assemblages will enhance interpretations of fossil deposits.
Field assistants will help find and map bones across the
Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park. Successful
candidates must be able to work long hours (we average 6-day
work-weeks with 10 to 12 hour days) in the very rugged terrain
of Yellowstone's back country. Participants should be
interested in facets of ecology, paleontology, paleoecology,
taphonomy, and/or Geographic Information Systems (GIS), though
previous field experience is not necessary. Experienced
campers are preferred as we will be camping and preparing our
own food. Though no direct financial compensation is
available, all expenses (food, camping fees, etc.) will be
covered, along with some financial aid for travel to Wyoming.
Currently, one, two-week expedition is planned (proposed
dates: May 8-22), with the possibility of further expeditions
later in the summer (dates to be determined).
This unique experience assures that participants will see a
large swath of the beautiful terrain and animals of
Yellowstone in areas rarely encountered by tourists.
Participants will also gain experience in actualistic
taphonomy, field ecology, and fieldwork logistics.
To apply, please send a one-page description illustrating your
previous fieldwork/camping experience, how your interests
relate to this research opportunity, and the dates you are
available. In addition, please send your CV/resume along with
two to three letters of recommendation. Application materials
should be sent together to the address below or via email
(letters of recommendation may be sent separately in that
case). Review of application will begin on April 11, 2008 and
continue until positions are filled. All levels of experience
are welcome (current undergraduates and beyond) and your
earliest response is appreciated.
Please email me at millerjh@uchicago.edu with any questions,
or for more information about the position. You may also view
