Description and Responsibilities
One technician is needed to assist with local research on anolis lizards. The technician’s primary responsibility will be the daily care of a large breeding colony of anoles. Animals will need to be regularly fed and watered, and cages will be occasionally cleaned and periodically checked for eggs. Additionally, the technician may be expected to assist with field experiments that involve the capture, mark, and release of native lizards and help with general lab duties (i.e. data entry, preservation of specimens). Work schedule will be flexible; however, applicants should plan to work approximately 40 hours over 4-6 days each week during regular business hours (8:00-5:00). Salary will be $300-400 per week depending on qualifications and experience. Employment will be from May 9th through August 5th; however, based on job performance and need, this job may continue through the 2016-2017 school year at a part-time rate.
Qualifications
Looking for hardworking individuals who are passionate about science and interested in herpetology. Applicants must be current Auburn University students (not recent graduates or those graduating in May 2016). Priority will be given to those who have previous experience working with reptiles, and have completed at least 2 years study toward a degree in biology, wildlife, or related field. The most important qualification, however, is to be a diligent, independent, teachable person. Most work will take place in the lab; however, because some outdoor work is involved, applicants must be in good physical condition and enjoy working outdoors, even in the hot, humid Alabama weather alongside biting insects and poison ivy. Other desirable skills include – proficiency with MS Office (Excel, Word) and good interpersonal communication skills.
Apply
Please fill out the online application. After completing the online application, you must also send an official resume or CV by email to jmh0131(at)auburn.edu. The subject of the email should read "Reptile Research - Your Name".
