Hello friends,

We are looking to fill a field technician position to assist us
with our field work this summer in old-growth and clearcut Acadian
forests in Nova Scotia.

Forest Research Assistant  (May 1st - Aug. 31st).

Our lab is currently investigating the impacts of anthropogenic (clearcut
logging)  and natural (treefall) canopy disturbance on understory plant
biodiversity and red spruce regeneration in mature and old-growth Acadian
forests.  This work has strong conservation implications for the
management of ancient Acadian woodlands, of which less than 1 % remain in
our province. 

The position will involve assisting two graduate students with their data
collection this summer in southwestern Nova Scotia. We often work under
quite difficult field conditions (ticks, blackflies, rain, climbing over
slash piles) and for this reason we are looking for someone who has had
prior experience working outdoors (i.e. tree planting or field research).
Knowledge of temperate forest flora is desirable.

We will be living in Kejimkujik National Park with the occasional trip to
Halifax.  Position pays $8.75/hr and rent is free.

There is the strong possibility that the contract will develop into a
full-time lab position based at St. Mary's University in the fall.

Please send a cover letter and C.V.  c/o  Helene LeBlanc electronically
(h_leblanc@yahoo.com) or to the Dept. of Biology, St. Mary's University,
Halifax, N.S. B3H-3C3

Deadline for Applications is April 21st.


cheers

Faisal Moola
PhD. candidate
