4 positions as fieldwork assistant in the Insect Biome Project

Dear Oikos-readers,

 

Within the Insect Biome Atlas project, we are now opening four fieldworker positions! Please spread to any potential candidates.

 

Below I copy-pasted a short overview of the positions, and attached a PDF with all information.

 

Mvh,

 

Ayco Tack

 

Tycker du om naturen, fältarbete och resande; och är du social?

 

Vad: Nu söker Naturhistoriska riksmuseet fyra fältassistenter som kommer att hjälpa

till med att undersöka insekternas roll i ekosystemets funktioner (t.ex. pollination,

fröspridning, och nedbrytning) på flera platser runt om i Sverige, som en del i projektet

Insect Biome Atlas (www.insectbiomeatlas.com).

 

När: 3 av anställningarna varar 2 månader, med start den första juni 2019. En av

anställningarna varar 4 månader, med start i april 2019.

 

Arbetet: Varje fältassistent kommer att utföra experiment på ekosystemets funktioner

på 50 platser i Sverige. Var medveten om att vissa av dessa platser ligger otillgängligt

till (t.ex. i den svenska fjällvärlden). Vid arbetets start kommer assistenterna att ha en

vecka då de lär sig, och tränas i, hur dessa experiment kommer att utföras. Efter

träningsperioden kommer varje fältarbetare att arbeta individuellt, och besöka varje

plats som de har blivit tilldelade. Den längre anställningen kommer också att inkludera

fältarbete som går ut på att sätta ut 50 malaisefällor i norra Sverige.

 

Kvalifikationer: Vi söker starkt motiverade personer som kan tänka sig att resa genom

Sverige i bil under fältsäsongen (B-körkort är ett krav!). Fältarbetarna behöver vara

sociala och tala flytande svenska, då de behöver ha kontakt med de volontärer som

har hand om varje malaisefälla. Goda kunskaper att hantera GPS och att navigera,

samt erfarenhet av ekologiskt arbete i Sverige är nödvändigt.

Om du tycker om att resa, är social och motiverad; då är det här det perfekta jobbet för

dig!

 

Att ansöka skicka ditt CV till andreia.miraldo@nrm.se, senast den 31 mars 2019.
