Trapping field mice in Scotland

Messaggio da Duccio » 13 ott 2010, 10:03

Volunteer wanted for 5 weeks from 27th October 2010, to help with live trapping of field mice on St Kilda, a small archipelago
180km off the west coast of Scotland.
Responsibilities consist of helping to set up trapping grids on remote parts of the island, prepping and cleaning traps, handling mice
and recording data. You will be living as part of a small group of researchers in restored cottages on the remotest field site in the British Isles;
the accommodation is fairly basic but the scenery is spectacular! A great opportunity to acquire small mammal field experience.
A brief news report and footage of the project can be found on the BBC news
website - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-h ... s-11168757
You must be available for the full duration of the field work, and preference will be given to people with a background in biological sciences.
Volunteers must be fit and confident enough to carry 18kg backpacks over steep and rocky terrain, and happy to work in all weathers.
Helicopter flights between St Kilda and Benbecula (Outer Hebrides) will be provided, as will food and board whilst on St Kilda.
Reasonable travel expenses within Scotland will also reimbursed.
To apply for this volunteer position, please send a CV and covering letter, plus details of one or two referees who can be contacted at
short notice by email to:
Tom Black (t.w.black@sms.ed.ac.uk).
