Hello,
I am an Int. Phd student in Prof. Rohini Balakrishnan's lab at CES, IISc
and I would require assistance of volunteers/interns for my work. I would
highly appreciate if you could kindly forward the mail below to any
interested candidate.
Hello all,
This is to inform you about the *opportunity of a voluntary internship at
Prof. Rohini **Balakrishnan's lab in Centre for Ecological Sciences, IISc*.
The study revolves around several sexual selection based questions in a
tree cricket species, *Oecanthus henryi*, pertaining to its fascinating
acoustic communication system (the males produce an acoustic signal and
interesting acoustic strategies which facilitate the conspecific females to
identify and find the males).
The internship would involve behavioral observations of the male acoustic
signal and mating behaviour for a better understanding of their
communication and mating system, over a duration of 3 months from *March
2018 to May 2018*. The internship will offer a learning experience in
making focal animal observations during the evenings from 1830 to 2200hrs
in both outdoor and indoor setting inside the Indian Institute of Science
campus.
Interested candidates are welcome to write back to me along with their CVs
at sambita.modak@xxxxxxxxx at the earliest.
Provision for accommodation and transportation is not included in this
internship.
Do forward this message to whoever you think would be interested.
Thank you,
Sambita Modak
