*Internship opportunities to study small mammals in the Trans-Himalayas *
We are inviting applications for a research program on small mammal
behaviour and habitat use in the Trans-Himalayan landscape. Opportunities
are available for people to join the program in various capacities,
typically starting as field interns for the upcoming season, with eventual
opportunities to enter PhD programs either at IISER Tirupati or IIT
Tirupati. The primary and immediate need is for field interns (July-October
2022). While the project will focus on understanding small mammal ecology
and behaviour, it includes a significant component of using technology
(remote sensing, radars, imagery, spatial data) to further our
understanding of communities and habitat use.
Duration: Field interns are required between July - October 2022, with
possible extension for data entry, analysis and processing at IISER
Tirupati.
Location: Trans-Himalayan landscape of the Western Himalayas. Work will be
focused in altitudes above 3300 m, sometimes up to elevations of 5000m asl.
Skills needed:
-Experience and strong interest in working in high altitudes
-Strong interest in animal behaviour
-Driving four-wheeler (preferred) or two-wheeler vehicles
-Trekking/hiking/mountaineering experience
-Knowledge of mammalian systems
