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.
